(F Am ) nx F I was bruised and battered I couldn't tell what I felt Am I was unrecognizable to myself F saw my reflection in a window and didn't know my own face Am oh brother are you gonna leave me wasting like this on the Bb F/A C streets of Philadelphia F I walked the avenue 'til my legs felt like stone Am I heard voices of friends vanished and gone F At night I hear the blood in my veins Am just as black and whispery as the rain on the Bb F/A C streets of Philadelphia Bb Dm Ain't no angel gonna greet me Bb F It's just you and I my friend Am Bb C and my clothes don't fit me no more I walked a thousand miles just to slip this skin F The night is falling, I'm lying awake Am I can feel my self fading away F so receive me brother with your fateless kiss or Am will we leave each other alone like this on the Bb F/A C streets of Philadelphia... (Bb F/A C) nc
