[Verse 1]
[Em]The[C][B][Em][C][B]
[Em]streets of
[E]pleasure took you [F#]to top
But every [B]light was red
and every sign said stop
[F#m]I felt so c[A]onfined,
[F#m]just like glued [B]to this spot, oh
[E]Cause we were sleeping
in the [F#]noon day sun
We [B]escaped the test and
the marathon [F#m]run
And [A]no one [F#m]heard and these

[A]We put a stop to [C#m]that[A]

[Em]With overf[F#]lowing powerful woes
'Cause there's [B]real and [C#m]fright
To [B]the top of [F#m]the stairs to

[B]And blood stained letters
don't count for change
And don't [A]look for blame
Cause it's a [B]fair exchange
For the [C#m]last a[B]dven [A]ture I hav[F#m]e left[G#][A][B][F#m]
