Intro E          G          E          G 


verse 1 
E          G          E          G 
They say, this is a big and rich town 

E          G          E          G 
But I live in the poorest part 

E          G          E          G 
I know, I’m on a dead end street 

E          G          E          G 
In a city without a heart 


Break 
E          G          E          G 


verse 2 
E          G          E          G 
I learned this fact before I was six 

E          G          E          G 
The only way I could get along 

E          G          E          G 
When youre raised on a dead end street 

E          G          E          G 
You gotta be tough and strong 


Break 
E          G          E          G       


verse 3 
E          G          E          G 
Now everybody I know is in trouble 

E          G          E          G 
Cos that’s how its always been 

E          G          E          G 
When the odds are all against you 

E          G          E          G 
How can you win, yeah 


Break 
E          G          E          G 


verse 4 
E          G          E          G 
But I’m gonna make my way out of here 

E          G          E          G 
Even though, even thought, even though I cant say when 

E          G          E          G 
And I ain’t never gonna come back, no way 

E          G          E          G 
I ain’t never gonna comeback here again 


Break 
E          G          E          G 


Verse 5 
E          G          E          G 
Tired of breaking my back 

E          G          E          G 
Gotta get out into the world and see some things 

E          G          E          G 
Tired of this dead end street
