Stroll to the café my God how time flies
And I close up my brain
another friend dies
And me I'm just the same
Soaking up Broadway
Nightlife in Detroit
And I'd buy these New York ladies If these light weren't so bright
And me I wasn't there
Stagger down main stɾeet
A knife in my [A]side
And I fall [Em]to [C7]the gutter In tears but with pride
And me I'm feeling okay
Moving out of Centɾal this villain knows me well
Says he'll spill the whole story
He might be [Am]lying, I can't tell
And me I'm not that kind
I've been searching for [Dm7]my [A]shadow in vain
How can I be [Am]still while my [A]lifeline ɾemains
I've been searching for [Dm7]my [A]shadow in vain
How can I be [Am]still while my [A]lifeline ɾemains with him
Try to [C7]steal a needle Bring peace to [C7]my [A]head
And I'm stumbling down the alleys I find killers instead
And me I'm the cause of it all
Stɾeet corner women are taking their toll
Now they look at me, I'm dying
And I'm growing old
And me I'm loving it all
I've been searching for [Dm7]my [A]shadow in vain
How can I be [Am]still while my [A]lifeline ɾemains
I've been searching for [Dm7]my [A]shadow in vain
How can I be [Am]still while my [A]lifeline ɾemains with him
