Verse 1:
G            D           C                   D
On the other side of town, broken hearts are never found
        G               D     C                      D
They're lost out in the street, Street that holds no sympathy
G              D           C                  D
  On the other side of town  a lonely soul in hand me downs
       G               D        C              D
But a  sidewalk is his home and all his dreams turn to stone

Chorus 1:
C                          D       G      D        Em
  The concrete holds their memories, city life's a fantasy
        C                 D    C                 D
And the night's a looking-glass
a picture of a painfull past
       Em            A            Em            D   C  Bm  Am
On the other side of town, on the other side of town
 
Verse 2:
G                 D       C                  D
  No guarantee of solitude  the corner of an avenue
G            D  C                 D
  The wig on me   small town girl with a dream
G               D           C                D
  In her eyes a silent stare  a victim of no one who cares
        G            D      C                D
But she has her memories, reflections of the life she leads
 
Chorus 2:
C                  D               G                 Em
  Hotels rooms and one night stands, holdin' eyes to strangers
             C                 D       C                  D
And it's the price you have to pay for making it through another day
       Em            A            Em            D   C  Bm  Am
On the other side of town, on the other side of town

Chorus 1:
C                          D       G      D        Em
  The concrete holds their memories, city life's a fantasy
        C                 D    C                D
And the night's a looking-glass, a picture of a painfull past
       Em            A            Em            A
On the other side of town, on the other side of town
       Em            D   C  Bm  D  G
On the other side of town
