[E] [A] [E]
[A] [E]
[A] [E] Broken, lonely, cancerous, they'd be safe and fine

[Bm] [E] No, I'm not a poor boy
All the time I'd learn it, she was at his side
We can have those times again, don't you run away or hide
[A] I'm not [E]
[A] [E] a poor boy, no I'm not a poor boy
[A] Wish I had a picture of that look on your face
[F#] When you saw me walking up to you in your place
[E] Just when you were thinking I was forever gone
[F#] I came in from nowhere [B] like a wind on a stone
[E] Lady luck has been so good after all this time
I can buy you anything you want, it's all here on the line

[F#] What more can I do to [B] make you shake up your head?

Why should I stay in New Orleans, it don't matter anymore
