[F#m] [Bm]
[D] [F#m] [Bm]
[D] [F#m] See a little [Bm] seagull [D] on [F#m] a marble stand, [Bm]
[D] [F#m] trying to find the ocean, [Bm]
[D] looking [F#m] everywhere.
[Bm] [D] The hard [C#m] times in the [F#m] city, [Bm] [F#] [D] hidden in a [F#m] tunnel by the [F#m] sea,
[F#] [D] [F#m] A gate nowhere to run [Bm] to, [D] there is [F#m] nothing prepared for free.
[Bm] [D] [F#m] A drop around the corner,
[Bm] [D] [F#m] bleeding for a drink, yeah.
[Bm] [D] [F#m] Drunk, lying on the [B] sidewalk, [Bm] [D] [F#m] bleeding in the rain.
[F#] [D] [F#m] Good people at their best [Bm] days, [D] and [F#m] the eyes of the eyes, [Bm] yeah.
[D] [F#m] God, the city is dying, [Bm] [D] and we [F#m] don't know why.
[Bm] [D] Oh,
[E] [C#m] what's the more, [F#m] ain't it hard just [E] to leave, [F#m] leave.
[E] What's the more, [F#m] ain't it hard just [E] to leave, [F#m] just to leave.
[Bm] [D] [F#m] Got my sister Sandy,
[Bm] [D] [F#m] and my little daughter Grace, yeah.
[Bm] [D] [F#m] Buy a big old wagon,
[Bm] [D] to [F#m] order some oil away.
[Bm] [D] [F#m] Live out in the country,
[Bm] [D] where the [F#m] mountains are high.
[Bm] [D] I'm [F#m] going back there, [Bm] [D] till the day [F#m] I die.
[Bm] [D] Oh, [E] what's the more, [F#m] ain't it hard just [E] to leave.
