standard tuning
capo on 2nd fret

On the [ Bm ] north side of town, 
where the [ D ] cold winds always [ A ] blow [ G ]
Peoples? [ Bm ] faces are hard to see, 
[ D ] no one that you [ A ] know [ G ]
And on the [ Bm ] south side of town 
the [ D ] bad ones are carrying [ A ] guns [ G ] 
There all the [ Bm ] screaming and swearing, 
they [ D ] even got the cops on the [ A ] run [ G ]  

The [ D ] city is full of [ G ] lonely hearts 
And all the [ D ] gutters are filled with [ G ] broken parts 
We got to [ D ] get away and make a [ G ] brand new start 
We got to [ D ] get away, before it [ G ] falls apart 
You and [ Em ] me, [ G ] you and [ D ] me 
We can still [ Em ] make it, [ G ] yeah we got to [ D ] leave 

On the [ Bm ] west side of town they say 
the [ D ] streets are lined with [ A ] gold [ G ]  
But all those [ Bm ] peoples? tongues are turning 
[ D ] black from the lies they [ A ] told [ G ]  
On the [ Bm ] east side of town you can 
[ D ] hear someone?s baby [ A ] cryin' [ G ]  
And when the [ Bm ] kid grows up he's gonna 
[ D ] turn into a mean old [ A ] guy [ G ]
