[Em] One kid from Brooklyn, [C] the other from [Am] Queens, [C] met on a [G] crosstown train.
[B] [Em] They cut from class, they both agreed, a bottle [B] down a cone is [Em] all they need.
[A] [Em] A handful of kicks [C] they'd stashed under [E] their [Am] belts, [G] but Queens stepped on Brooklyn's tie.
[B] [E] Now the new [D#] gang's there with [G] the icy [C#] [C] stares, the stranger [B] said a loan [Em] that's goodbye.
He's [A] got more faces [D] than the card you drew.
[Em] You can't say spit, [B] you know it's true, [E] when it all [D#] comes down [G] and the deal [C#] is through.
[C] The stranger, [B]
he made a buyer [Em] of me and you.

[Em] [B]
[Em] She smoked the filters [C]
and he [E] smoked them [Am] straight.
[Bm] On gin and [G] jazz they [B] agreed.
[Em] A pack [D#] of knights [G] went [C#] spinning round, [C] and no [B] time they were shacking [Em] up me town.
[F#m] [B] [Em] A vow it would seem [C] to fill [E] out that dream, [A] but [Bm] life ain't [G] what you [Em] think.
Cause one [D#] stood two, [G] there now [C#] stands three, [C] the stranger [B] now divides [Em] their company.

Mr.
Down on his luck, [C] living shop [E] and caught dreams.
[Am] [F#] He works the end [G] of my street.
[B] [Em] With gushing [D#] [E] words [C#] and daily [C] dimes, I buy [B] myself a little peace [E] of mind.
[Em] The workday is long [C] and night [E] draws her [Am] shadow.
[D] I get tired [G] and so be.
[B] [E] I pass [D#] right by [G]
the [C#] man in [C] need.
The [B] stranger led me [Em] faster up the street.
[E] [Am] I thought I [D] was in a different [Em] place.
The stranger just looked [B] me dead in the [E] face.
I [D#] bought his [G] wares instead [C#] of [C] grades.
I bought a bill [B] of sale [Em] instead of grades.
