Intro: Eb,G#,Bb,Eb

Verse 1:
     Eb                       G#
I've lost all the time that I have in this world
     Eb                   G#         Bb
I've spent it unwisely, unwisely you see
      Eb                      G#
And I can't get it back and I can't move forward
    Eb             G#          Bb       Eb
I'm broken and I'm empty, it's over for me

Pre—Chorus:
   G#                   Eb
If I could undo all the wrongs that I've caused
G#                         Eb            Bb
Fall to my knees, pray for swiftness and just
    Eb                      G#           
For I'm just a fool, a fool driven to dust
        Eb          G#    Bb         Eb
And the world ain't gonna change for me

Verse 2:
   G#                                     Eb
So give me one more chance to prove these problems and frustrations
            G#                         Eb            Bb
Aren't just manifest in memories we're destined to repeat
  Eb                       G#
A second chance to prove I know right from wrong
  Eb                   G#                  Bb            Eb
I swear I'll do things different but can't promise to be strong

Chorus:
   Eb                                             
So come all you losers, you bastards and cheats,
C                      Bb
Vagrants, and barflies down on the street
            Eb         C            G#
Follow this path to salvation, vindication awaits
      Eb               G#       Bb       Eb
We're marching on East Broadway Street tonight

Intro

Verse 3:
             Eb                          G#
If you could look into this old face and try to see the young man
  Eb                               G#              Bb
I swear I once was pretty, not the monster you now see
      Eb                                 G#
But I squandered all my chances, lost my faith and took for granted 
     Eb                G#              Bb             Eb
This life and precious one chance, the whirlwind I'll wreak
