Verse 1:
A E
Into the night on heels I stumble
F#m D
Like a star about to shoot
A E
Catch me down the avenue like
F#m D
B dandylion parachute
A E
Release the hounds, chase my tail and
F#m D
Treat me like renegade
A E
I'm as patient as a chain-reaction
F#m D
But I am not afraid
Chorus:
A
We're gonna leave all the troubles behind by the turnpike
E
Going away, you know what it feels like
F#m D
I'll never let you go, Joe Dallesandro
A
The rocks in my shoes won’t dig into my feet
E
Free of the promises that I can’t keep
F#m D
I'll never let you go, Joe Dallesandro
Post chorus 1:
F#m
No matter what you say
E D
I can't shake off this fling
Verse 2:
A E
Into the night I paint the city
F#m D
In the colour of my eyeshade
A E
Walking with a papertiger
F#m D
I am not afraid

No matter what you do

I can't shake off this fling
