| | A | F#m |
| | Endless juke joints and | Valentino drag |
| | A | F#m |
| Where | dancers scraped the tears up off the | streets dressed down in rags |
| | A | F#m |
| Run | ning into the darkness some hurt | bad some really dying |
| | E | D |
| At | night sometimes it seemed you could hear the | whole damn city crying |
| | E |
| Blame it on the lies that killed us blame it on the | truth that ran us down |
| | A | D |
| You can | blame it all on me Terry it don't | matter to me now |
| | E |
| When the breakdown hit at midnight there was | nothing left to say |
| But I hated him and I hated you when you went away |
