[Am]
[A] I'm [F#] on lonely street, age [Am] nearly three recently, [Em] mama's crying all the time, is it because of me or my [Am] younger sister?
[F#] Even dad was weeping when he kissed her, [F]
face all puffy like a blister, crying [Am] like he missed her
Since we moved away from the house [Em] where we used to play, they say I'll understand one day, [Am] but I doubt it
[F] Mama never say nothing [Am] about it, how'd it get to be so [A] crowded?
I'm found a little strange
Everywhere I look I see pain, and I can't escape the feeling maybe I'm to blame
So I strain to listen, praying for a decision, [F] wishing they were kissing, this feels like [A] extradition or exile
Mama finds it hard to smile, so I [Em] make her ten cups of coffee in her favorite style
She [A] says, child I'm working so there's nothing you lack, but [D] she know I want my dad, I want my family [F] back
[Em]
[D] [A]
I'm [Am] on lonely street, age 43, couldn't [A] gauge when to quit, so my wife quit me
Confessed to the kids, I wish that [Am] was the end, but before she took her leave, she took care of my best friend
Working all the hours, God said, was not the tactic, you see, cause after ten years I'm left with jack-ish
[D] Wanted to make the cash quick, so I had to work real late, [Am] bad sex my woman's best even if I stay up in panic
I'm honest, I had a little cake at the office [A] I was in, we'd be watching in over coffees making tea
The boss is making three with me, and [F] I agree I got sleazy too easily
But [Am] I'm 43, this doesn't usually happen to me, now [Em] I'm lonely, I'm wondering what my son's doing today
Suddenly [A] I'm blinking like the screen on my computer display, and [Am] I'm drinking, concerned about what's down the track
If I don't get my family back
[D] [F]
I want my family back
[Am]

[D]
[Dm]
[Am] I'm on lonely street, number 53, brought it up [E] properly, I'll probably get pulled down
Litter all around, inside there's no sound and [F] no light, but yo it gets busy at night
[Am]
Derelicts sneaking into fix [Em] leaking, on the way my timbers creaking, roof leaking
[F] And bricks coming loose, knee high in refuse, but [Dm] even though I'm a slum, I'm still of some [Am] use
There was a time my walls were decorated, [E] and under my roof, children were [D] educated
But now, painstaking windows are all smashed, [F] a crash in the economy robbed me of my family
[Am] And no strategy, combat, negative equity, [Em] so that's it, like violence it's [E] drastic
I'm thinking, and seeking to be more than just a house for [Dm] crack, somebody did not bring me back
