Intro:
G Em C G
G Em D G

Verse 1:

        G     Em        C        G
At the Harlem river we sink like stones

               C        Em              D         G
you see we've got heavy minds and we've got thick bones

        C      Em            C     G
like a deck of cards shuffled in my hand

             C            Em            D         G
you said you want to make plans but you can't understand

             G      Em       C            G
you see this race I run is a race I can't win

             C            Em         D                  G
and there's a ghost in the attic been writing me these songs

Interlude:
G Em C G
G Em D G

Chorus:

           G
And oh the truth is that

  Em                C            G
I always try at the cost of everything

                     Em
One day you'll see inside my fate

         C                G
throwing caution with the wind

   C          G
so I can't pretend

  Em                    D
I guess I was somebody else

Interlude:
G Em C G
G Em D G

Verse 2:

G            Em         C               G
We were like gangsters gambling in the park

             C          Em         D        G
said you're old enough now not to fear the dark

           C        G         D          G
and oh the buisness man said "We are the same"

                G       Em              C       G
he said you're making a living now you can't complain

            G      D         C             G
because the honest man won't make it these days

                C         Em        D       G
and that's the way things are, it's hard to explain.

Chorus:

           G
And oh the truth is that

  Em                C            G
I always try at the cost of everyone

    G
One day you'll rest,

Em                   C              G
here in peace at the bottom of everything.

   C          G
so I won't pretend

  Em            D
I never want to end up,

     G
this way.
