[Intro]
B  C#m

[Verse 1]
         B
There's streets I go down
         Bbm/B
There's corners I turn
C#m
Records that spin me and
midnights I burn
B
Sidewalks that can lead me
    Bbm/B
In circles 'round the block
         C#m
There's dive bars with
good bands but
there's one thing they?ain't?got,?so
