[Am] I'm a son of [F] this town, [C] hear the ship [G] engine sound,
[Am] When a train's [C] slumming over [G] the rails.
The [Am] factory died, the [F] sky grey, [C] by the river [G] I prayed,
[Am] But it washed all [C] my dreams [G] away,
[A] away.

We were young [C] kids that wanted to [G] conquer the world,
[A] A trip on a roller [G] coaster with love [A] safety pills,
[G] But you, the metal [F] arm, ran right [A] down to hell,
[Em] Ran right [G] down [F] to
[G] hell.
[Am] I'm a son [F] of this [C] town, hear the ship [G] engine [Am] sound,

No limits, no rules, my [G] head against the wall,
[A] You should sit the flat and lick the [G] wounds, I'm bleeding [A] in town,
[G] I was taking from below the [F] gun, ready [A] to shoot you [Am] down,
[Em] To shoot [G]
you [F] down.

The one thing that I've [Am] done is grind on [E] pain,
[G] Grind [F] on pain.
