Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][D][G][D]
[G]
[D]

[Verse 1]
I say this [D]was no
game of chicken
You were aiming your best friend
That you wear like a switchblade
on a chain around your neck
I think you picked this up
in Mexico from your dad
Now your [G]daddy on the booze
And there's Brando on the ice
Now [D]it's Dean in the doorway
With one more way he can't
play this scene twice
So you drug her [Bm]down every drag
of this forbidden fit of love
And you told her to stand tall
when you kissed her
But that's [D]not where you were thinking
How [C]could a Natalie Wood not get sucked
into a scene so custom [Bm]tucked?
But now look who [G]shows
up in the same place
In this case I think [D]it's better to face it
[G]We belong to[D]gether
[C]We [D]bel[Bm]ong to[G]gether[D]

[Verse 2]
Now, once [D]Johnny the King
made a spit ring
And all the skid kids saw a very,
very proud man
And he entwine her in his finger
And she lay there like a baby in his hand
[G]Climb upon the rooftop docks lookin'
out on the crosstown seas
And he [D]wraps his jacket
across her shoulders
And he falls and hugs and holds
her on his knees
But a sail[Bm]or just takes a broad down
to the dark end of the fair
To turn her into a tattoo
That'll whisper into the back
[D]of Johnny's black hair
And [C]now Johnny the King walks these
streets without her in the rain
Lookin' [Bm]for a leather jacket and a g[G]irl
who wrote her name [D]forever
And a promise that
[G]We [D]bel[G]ong together[D]
[C]Yeah, [Bm]we belong [G]toge[D]ther

[Verse 3]
[D]
Shall [G]we weigh [D]along these streets,
young lions on the lam?
Are the signs you hid deep in your heart
all left on neon for them?
Who are fool[G]ish, who are victim of the
sailors and the ducky boys who would
Move into your eyes
and lips and every tear
That falls [D]down on
the neighborhood now
I said, "Bird, we just [Bm]got ta tell them"
And they turn and ignore us
And the only heroes we got left
are written right before us
[D]And the only angel who sees us now
watches through each other's eyes
And I can [C]hear him in every
footstep's passing sigh
[Bm]He goes crazy these night[G]s
watching heartbeats [D]go by
And they whisper
[G]We belong togeth[D]er
But [C]we [Bm]belong [G]together[D]
[C]We [D]bel[Bm]ong to[G]gether[D]
[Em]We b[G]elong togeth[D]er
