[Verse 1]
I was Asus4bruised and battered I couldn't tell what I felt
I was G/Funrecognizable to myself
saw my Asus4reflection in a window and didn't know my own face
oh G/Fbrother are you gonna leave me wasting away
on the streets of GPhiladelphiG/Fa
G G/F A7sus4
I walked the Asus4avenue 'til my legs felt like stone
I heard G/Fvoices of friends vanished and gone
At night I Asus4hear the blood in my veins
just as G/Fblack and whispery in the rain
on the streets of GPhiladelphiaG/F  A7sus4  
on the streets of GPhiladelphiaG/F  A7sus4  
[Chorus]
GAin't no angel gonna G/Fgreet me
ItG's just you and I my friendAsus4  
C#and my clothes don't fit me no more
A7sus4I walked a thousand miles just to slip this skin
[Verse 2]
Asus4The night is falling, I'm lying awake
I can G/Ffeel my self fading away
so Asus4receive me brother with your fateless kiss or
will we G/Fleave each other alone like this
on the streets of PGhiladelphia..G/F.A7sus4  
on the streets of GPhiladelphia.G/F..A7sus4  
[Outro]
