D                                    C
First days in the loft I thought I might live
D         Em
New faces and new streets
D                             C
No cash in the hand was making me think
D           Em
What now,what's coming next



🎸 Pre-Chorus:

C
That's not to say I wasn't welcomed,I was welcomed
      G
I was taken in.

I took the bait when I was hunted I was wretched
      G
I waS freezing

D                               C
Don"t run like a dog I know how it feels
        D            Em
Without heat without love
D                              C
Ran free in the park like Jekyll and Hyde
D                 Em
Me and Pete, me and Pete

Pre 🎸 Chorus:

C
Up half the night unwilling witness to some
         G
Strangers fued
C
Deep underground I hear the notes of some
            G
old gmablers blues


🎸 Chorus:

Em              D     C
This rose will never blossom now it needs
Em                 C
Light shinning on it's back.
Em           D            C
This road will never take me out I've been
Em          C
Stopped in my tracks
C
There goes the night and now the sun begins
          G
To filter through
C
I took the bait when I was hunted  was
                                       G
Wrectched didn't know that I was failing you

🎸 Chorus:

Em            D      C                   D
Metropolitan Avenue standing tall in the winter rain

Will I ever see your face again

Em             D      C                   D
Metropolitan Avenue standing tall in the winter snow

I'll be back with you before I go.
