Down in Asbury Park

In a sublet I'm renting

I got a new job

The sun on my neck and some cash in my pocket
  G
At least there's fresh air here
    C

Alone with my thoughts

And a breeze off the ocean

And I smile for the first time this year

I've been spending my nights in a dive off the boardwalk

A sad open mic

Iâ??ve been playing these damn songs

They yell out for Springsteen, or Dylan, or Mitchell
  G
But these, these are all that I've got

G A B C D E

 I've picked up smoking again

 Picked up smoking again
