standard tuning
capo on 2nd fret

On the [ B5 ] north side of town, 
where the [ D5 ] cold winds always [ A5 ] blow [ G5 ]
Peoples? [ B5 ] faces are hard to see, 
[ D5 ] no one that you [ A5 ] know [ G5 ]
And on the [ B5 ] south side of town 
the [ D5 ] bad ones are carrying [ A5 ] guns [ G5 ] 
There all the [ B5 ] screaming and swearing, 
they [ D5 ] even got the cops on the [ A5 ] run [ G5 ]  

The [ D5 ] city is full of [ G5 ] lonely hearts 
And all the [ D5 ] gutters are filled with [ G5 ] broken parts 
We got to [ D5 ] get away and make a [ G5 ] brand new start 
We got to [ D5 ] get away, before it [ G5 ] falls apart 
You and [ E5 ] me, [ G5 ] you and [ D5 ] me 
We can still [ E5 ] make it, [ G5 ] yeah we got to [ D5 ] leave 

On the [ B5 ] west side of town they say 
the [ D5 ] streets are lined with [ A5 ] gold [ G5 ]  
But all those [ B5 ] peoples? tongues are turning 
[ D5 ] black from the lies they [ A5 ] told [ G5 ]  
On the [ B5 ] east side of town you can 
[ D5 ] hear someone?s baby [ A5 ] cryin' [ G5 ]  
And when the [ B5 ] kid grows up he's gonna 
[ D5 ] turn into a mean old [ A5 ] guy [ G5 ]
