G     B7          Em      C
And I dreamt of a city on fire,
G       B7     C      D 
Woke up to one intact.
G       B7             Em          C
Made it halfway on the walk to the grocery store,
G      B7       C    D
Before I turned back.
G                       B7
We could walk until the concrete ends,
Em                  C   
Quit work until the money's all spent.
G                        B7                  Em             B7
But how long until we're walking back to the plasma clinic again?
G          B7              Em                          C            
The bosses we want off our backs are everywhere we can run,
G                                        B7                       Em                    B7
So if there's a way out if there's a way out if there's a way out then it's not on our own, no no.

Repeat that pattern for the second verse etc. 

And I dreamt of the needles to come,
And I woke up afraid,
Mad enough to burn down the radio,
That woke me up this way.
I could walk when the bus lines end,
Shoot dope until the money's all spent
But how long until I'm walking back,
To check into detox again?
The monkey I want off my back is everywhere I can run,
So if there's a way out then it's not on my own.
There's a way out but it's not on my–her–his–their–our own.
