[Verse 1]
G F Em C
Hey, buddy, can you spare me some change?
Am Dbm D G
Me and my lady trying to get back to Detroit
G F Em C
They're ripping off the customers and tearing the buildings down
Am Cm D G
The ship seems to be sinking, and everyone's moving out
[Chorus]
F Eb G
But maybe it's just the way I feel
C D G
For some have been so ki-nd
F Cm D G
Maybe it's just that I'm far from home
C A C D Eb D
And you, and you and you, been on my mind
[Verse 2]
G F Em C
Faces in the curtains whilst the sirens were screaming
A C Eb G
Disturbing the dreaming that I had without sleep
G F E C
Hustlers on the block taking every cent I got
A C D G
So it's dollars for the barman to give my mind some ease
[Chorus]
F Eb G
But maybe it's just the way I feel
C D G
For some have been so ki-nd
A D G
Maybe it's just that I'm far from home
C A C D
And you, and you and you, been on my mind
[Verse 3]
G F Em C
Someone has bled an angry slogan on the wall
Am C D G
Just across the street from my luxury hotel
G F Em C
And the letters are so big that from close up you cannot read them
A C Eb G
But I'm high up in my room and I can read them very well.
[Chorus]
