[F]
I was bruised and battered, I couldn't tell what I felt.
[Am] I was unrecognizable to myself.
I [F] saw my reflection in the window and didn't know my own [D] face.
[Am] Oh brother, are you gonna leave me wasting away [D] in the [Bb] streets of Philadelphia?
[F] [D]
[C] Mmmmm, [Bb]
[F] Mmmmm.
[C]
I [F]
walked the avenue till my legs felt like [G] stone.
[Am] I heard the voices of my friends vanished and gone.
At [F] night I could hear the blood in my veins.
Just [Am] as black and whispering
As the rain in the streets [Bb] of Philadelphia
[F] Mmm, [C] ooo, [Dm] [Bb] ooo, [F] [Dm] [C] ooo
[D] Ain't [C] [D] [Bb]
no [Dm] angel gonna greet me
It's [Bb]
just [F] you and I, my friend
[Am]
My clothes, they [Bb] don't fit me no more
I [D] walked a thousand miles
[C] Just to slip this skin
[F]
The night has fallen, I'm lying awake
I can't [Am] feel, feel myself fading away
So, [F]
receive me, brother, with your faithless kiss
Or [Am] will we leave each other alone
Alone like this on the [Bb] streets of Philadelphia
[F] Mmm, ooo, [C]
ooo, ooo
On [Gm] the streets of [Bb]
Philadelphia
[F] Mmm, [C] ooo, ooo, [Bb]
ooo
[D] [F] [C]
[Gm] [C] On the streets [Bb] of Philadelphia
[F] Mmm, [C]
ooo, ooo,
[D] [C]
