[Verse 1]
[A5]summer [C5]days in New York City
[G]What a s[A5]trange way t[C5]o make a living[G]
Waste [A5]a whole da[Am]y just to

Now I'm [A5]stepping over bones
[Am]and I feel[C5] no pity[Dm]
[A5]Off to the b[Am]us stop, s[C5]tanding in l[Am]ine
Push[A5]ing ass [C5]off and trying to
take what's mine
I'ma [B]get [C5]your first if [Am]I can't hel[A5]p it
And no one's gonna give it
till you help your[Dm]self
I'm [A5]staring at [Em]faces, [C5]feeling distrust
[G]Don[A5]'t touch me [C5]or I'll fuck you up[G]
It's a [A5]cold [B]world
when you [C5]only [Am]do it fo[A5]r yourself
Give me more, man, give me more

they try to steal [E5]my sanit[C5]y
They [B]want [A5]to steal [G]my peace,
[G5]they want to steal my soul[G]
and leave me lying [C5]in a ho[A5]le[G][C5]

[C5]last drop from me
They [B]wanna [A5]scour my heart
[G]And[G5] tear me all apart until
