Intro: Eb,G#,Bb,Eb

Verse 1:
   Eb MajorEb            G#G#
I've lost all the time that I have in this world
   Eb MajorEb          G#G#     Bb majorBb
I've spent it unwisely, unwisely you see
   Eb MajorEb           G#G#
And I can't get it back and I can't move forward
  Eb MajorEb       G#G#     Bb majorBb    Eb MajorEb
I'm broken and I'm empty, it's over for me

Pre-Chorus:
  G#G#          Eb MajorEb
If I could undo all the wrongs that I've caused
G#G#             Eb MajorEb      Bb majorBb
Fall to my knees, pray for swiftness and just
  Eb MajorEb           G#G#
For I'm just a fool, a fool driven to dust
    Eb MajorEb     G#G#  Bb majorBb     Eb MajorEb
And the world ain't gonna change for me

Verse 2:
  G#G#                   Eb MajorEb
So give me one more chance to prove these problems and frustrations
      G#G#             Eb MajorEb      Bb majorBb
Aren't just manifest in memories we're destined to repeat
 Eb MajorEb            G#G#
A augmentedA second chance to prove I know right from wrong
 Eb MajorEb          G#G#         Bb majorBb      Eb MajorEb
I swear I'll do things different but can't promise to be strong

Chorus:
  Eb MajorEb
So come all you losers, you bastards and cheats,
C majorC           Bb majorBb
Vagrants, and barflies down on the street
      Eb MajorEb     C majorC      G#G#
Follow this path to salvation, vindication awaits
   Eb MajorEb        G#G#    Bb majorBb    Eb MajorEb
We're marching on East Broadway Street tonight

Intro

Verse 3:
       Eb MajorEb             G#G#
If you could look into this old face and try to see the young man
 Eb MajorEb                G#G#       Bb majorBb
I swear I once was pretty, not the monster you now see
   Eb MajorEb                 G#G#
But I squandered all my chances, lost my faith and took for granted
   Eb MajorEb        G#G#       Bb majorBb       Eb MajorEb
This life and precious one chance, the whirlwind I'll wreak
