| 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 | Bb | F/A | C | |
| streets of Ph | iladelphia |
| (lie lie lie lah lie lie lie lah lie... ) |
| I walked the avenue 'til my legs felt like stone |
| I heard voices of friends vanished and gone |
| At night I hear the blood in my veins |
| just as black and whispery as the rain on the streets of Philadelphia |
| Bb | F/A | C | Bb | F/A |
| Bb | Dm | |
| Ain't no angel gonna gr | eet me |
| Bb | F | |
| It's just you and I my | friend |
| Am | Bb | |
| and my clothes don't | fit me no more I walked a |
| C | |
| thousand miles just to slip this skin |
| The night is falling, I'm lying awake |
| I can feel myself fading away |
| so receive me brother with your fateless kiss or |
| will we leave each other alone like this on the |
| streets of Philadelphia... |
| Bb | F/A | |
| (lie lie.. | . ) |
| (repeat and fade) |
