Growin'Up
Tom: Csus4
Intro: Csus4 C C9 C
Csus4 C C9 C
Csus4 C C9 C
Well I stood stone like at midnight
Csus4 C C9 C
Suspended in my masquerade
Csus4 C C9 C
And I combed my hair till it was just right
Csus4 C C9 C
And commanded the night brigade
F C G C
I was open to pain and crossed by the rain
F C G C
And I walked on a crooked crutch
F C G C
I strolled all alone through a fallout zone
F C G G C F C
And came out with my soul untouched
F G
I hid in the clouded wrath of the crowd
F Am
But when they said sit down I stood up
F G Csus4 C C9 C Csus4 C C9 C
Ooh-ooh growin' up
Csus4 C C9 C
Well The flag of piracy flew from my mast
Csus4 C C9 C
My sails were set wing to wing
Csus4 C C9 C
I had a jukebox graduate for a first mate
Csus4 C C9 C
She couldn't sail but she sure could sing
F C G C
And I pushed B-52 and bombed em with the blues
F C G C
With my gear set stubborn on standing
F C G C
I broke all the rules, strafed my old high school
F C G G C F C
Never once gave thought to landing
F G
I hid in the clouded wrath of the crowd
F Am
But when they said come down I threw up
F G Csus4 C C9 C Csus4 C C9 C
Ooh-ooh growin' up
SOLO: F C G C F C G C
F C G C Am F G
Csus4 C C9 C
Csus4 C C9 C
Csus4 C C9 C
I took month long vacations in the stratosphere
Csus4 C C9 C
And you know it's really hard to hold your breath
Csus4 C C9 C
Swear I lost everything I ever loved or feared
Csus4 C C9 C
I was the cosmic kid in full costume dress
F C G
Well my feet they finally took root in the earth
C F C G C
But I got me a nice little place in the stars
F C G C
And I swear I found the key to the universe
F C G G C F C
In the engine of an old parked car
F G
I hid in the mother breast of the crowd
F Am
But when they said pull down I pulled up
F G Am G
Ooh-ooh growin' up
F G Csus4 C C9 C
Ooh-ooh growin' up

Lost in the Flood Tom: C Intro: Em D
C D G Bm
The ragamuffin gunner is returnin' home like a hungry runaway
C D
He walks through town all alone
G Bm
He must be from the fort he hears the high school girls say
D D/C Em Bm
His countryside's burnin' with wolfman fairies dressed in drag for homicide
C D G Bm
The hit and run, plead sanctuary, neath a holy stone they hide
C D G Bm
They're breakin' beams and crosses with a spastic's reelin' perfection
C D G Bm
nuns run bald through Vatican halls pregnant, pleadin' immaculate conception
D D/C Em Bm
And everybody's wrecked on Main Street from drinking unholy blood
C D C Bm Em
Sticker smiles sweet as Gunner breathes deep, his ankles caked in mud
C D Em C D Em
And I said Hey, gunner man, that's quicksand, that's quicksand that ain't mud
C D Em C D Em Am D
Have you thrown your senses to the war or did you lose them in the flood?
C D G Bm
That pure American brother, dull-eyed and empty-faced
C D G Bm
Races Sundays in Jersey in a Chevy stock super eight
D D/C
He rides her low on the hip, on the side he's got Bound For Glory
Em Bm
In red, white and blue flash paint
C D C Bm Em D
He leans on the hood telling racing stories, the kids call him Jimmy The Saint
Em G Am Em
Well that blaze and noise boy, he's gunnin' that bitch loaded to blastin' point
G Am Em
He rides head first into a hurricane and disappears into a point
D D/C
And there's nothin' left but some blood where the body fell
Em Bm
That is, nothin' left that you could sell
C D C Bm Em
Just junk all across the horizon, a real highwayman's farewell
C D Em C D Em
And I said Hey kid, you think that's oil? Man, that ain't oil that's blood
C D Em
I wonder what he was thinking when he hit that storm
C D Em Am D D Am Em
Or was he just lost in the flood?
C D G Bm
Eighth Avenue sailors in satin shirts whisper in the air
C D G Bm
Some storefront incarnation of Maria, she's puttin' on me the stare
D D/C Em Bm
And Bronx's best apostle stands with his hand on his own hardware
C D C Bm Em
Everything stops, you hear five, quick shots, the cops come up for air
Em G Am Em
And now the whizz-bang gang from uptown, they're shootin' up the street
G
And that cat from the Bronx starts lettin' loose
Am Em
but he gets blown right off his feet
D D/C Em Bm
And some kid comes blastin' round the corner but a cop puts him right away
C D
He lays on the street holding his leg screaming something in Spanish
C Bm Em
Still breathing when I walked away
C D Em
And somebody said Hey man did you see that?
C D Em
His body hit the street with such a beautiful thud
C D Em C D Em
I wonder what the dude was sayin' or was he just lost in the flood?
C D Em C D Em
Hey man, did you see that, those poor cats are sure messed up
C D Em C D Em Am D
I wonder what they were getting into, or were they all just lost in the flood?

For You Tom: F Intro: F Am Bb C Dm
F Am Bb C Dm
Princess cards she sends me with her regards
Gm Dm Bb C
Oh, barroom eyes shine vacancy to see her you gotta look hard
F Am Bb C Dm
Wounded deep in battle I stand stuffed like some soldier undaunted
Gm Dm Bb C Bb Am
To her Cheshire smile I'll stand on file she's all I ever wanted
Gm Bb C F Am
But you let your blue walls get in the way of these facts
Bb C F Am
Honey, get your carpetbaggers off my back
Bb C F Am
You wouldn't even give me time to cover my tracks
Csus4 C
You said here's your mirror and your ball and jacks
Csus4 C Csus4 C
But they're not what I came for and I'm sure you see that too
Dm Am Gm Bb C Dm
I came for you, for you, I came for you, but you did not need my urgency
Am Gm Bb C Dm
I came for you, for you, I came for you, but your life was one long emergency
Fsus4 F Fsus4 F Dm C
and your cloud line urges me and my electric surges free
F Am Bb C Dm
Crawl into my ambulance your pulse is getting weak
Gm Dm Bb C
Oh, reveal yourself all now to me girl while you've got the strength to speak
F Am Bb C Dm
Cause they're waiting for you at Bellevue with their oxygen masks
Gm Dm Bb C Bb Am
But I could give it all to you now if only you could ask
Gm Bb C F Am
And don't call for your surgeon even he says it's too late
Bb C F Am
It's not your lungs this time it's your heart that holds your fate
Bb C F Am
Don't give me my money, honey, I don't want it back
Csus4 C
You and your pony face and your Union Jack
Csus4 C
Well take your local joker and teach him how to act
Csus4 C
I swear I was never that way even when I really cracked
Csus4 C Dm Am Gm Bb
Didn't you think I knew that you were born with the power of a locomotive
C Dm
Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound
Am Gm Bb
And your Chelsea suicide with no apparent motive
C Dm
You could laugh and cry in a single sound
SOLO: Fsus4 F Fsus4 F
C Bb F And your strength is devastating in the face of all these odds C Bb C Remember how I kept you waiting when it was my turn to be the God
F Am Bb C Dm
Ah, you were not quite half so proud when I found you broken on the beach
Gm Dm Bb C
Oh, remember how I poured salt on your tongue and hung just out of reach
F Am Bb C Dm
And the band they played the homecoming theme as I caressed your cheek
Gm Dm Bb C Bb Am
Yeah, that ragged, jagged melody she still clings to me like a leech
Gm Bb C F Am
But that medal you wore on your chest always got in the way
Bb C F Am
Like a little girl with a trophy so soft to buy her way
Csus4 C
We were both hitchhikers but you had your ear tuned to the roar
Csus4 C
Of some metal tempered engine on an alien distant shore
Csus4 C
So you left to find a better reason than the one we were living for
Csus4 C
And it's not that nursery mouth I came back for
Csus4 C
And it's not the way you're stretched out on the floor
Csus4 C
cause I've broken all your windows and I've rammed through all your doors
Csus4 C
And who am I to ask you to lick my sores
Csus4 C
And you should know that's true
C Bb C Dm Am Gm Bb C Dm
I came for you, for you, I came for you, but you did not need my urgency
Am Gm Bb C Dm
I came for you, for you, I came for you, but your life was one long emergency
Fsus4 F Fsus4 F
and your cloud line urges me and my electric surges free

It`s Hard To Be a Saint in the City

A D/A A D/A
A D/A A D/A
F#m D E A D/A A
I had skin like leather and the diamond-hard look of a cobra
F#m D E F#m
I was born blue and weathered but I burst just like a supernova
D
I could walk like Brando right into the sun
F#m D
Then dance just like a Casanova
E F#m
With my blackjack and jacket and hair slicked sweet
D E F#m
Silver star studs on my duds like a Harley in heat
D E F#m D E F#m
When I strut down the street I could hear its heartbeat
D E F#m
The sisters fell back and said don't that man look pretty
D E F#m
The cripple on the corner cried out nickels for your pity
D E F#m
Them gasoline boys downtown sure talk gritty
D E A7sus4 A7 A7sus4 A7
It's so hard to be a saint in the city
F#m D E A D/A A
I was the king of the alley, mama, I could talk some trash
F#m D E F#m
I was the prince of the paupers crowned downtown at the beggar's bash
D
I was the pimp's main prophet I kept everything cool
F#m D
Just a backstreet gambler with the luck to lose
E F#m D E F#m
And when the heat came down it was left on the ground
D E F#m
The devil appeared like Jesus through the steam in the street
D E F#m
Showin' me a hand I knew even the cops couldn't beat
D E F#m
I felt his hot breath on my neck as I dove into the heat
D E A7sus4 A7 A7sus4 A7
It's so hard to be a saint when you're just a boy out on the street
A7sus4 A7
And the sages of the subway sit just like the living dead
D7sus4 D7
As the tracks clack out the rhythm their eyes fixed straight ahead
Gsus4 G
They ride the line of balance and hold on by just a thread
Csus4 C
But it's too hot in these tunnels you can get hit up by the heat
Dm Dm/C
You get up to get out at your next stop but they push you back down in your seat
Bb
Your heart starts beatin' faster as you struggle to your feet
Esus4 E
Then you're outta that hole and back up on the street
D E F#m
And them South Side sisters sure look pretty
D E F#m
The cripple on the corner cries out nickels for your pity
D E F#m
And them downtown boys sure talk gritty
D E A7sus4 A7 A7sus4 A7
It's so hard to be a saint in the city

Bb Eb Bb Eb
Bb Eb F
Spanish Johnny drove in from the underworld last night
Bb Eb
With bruised arms and broken rhythm in a beat-up old Buick
Bb F
But dressed just like dynamite
Bb Eb F
He tried sellin' his heart to the hard girls over on Easy Street
Bb Eb Bb F
But they sighed Johnny it falls apart so easy and you know hearts these days are cheap
Eb Bb
And the pimps swung their axes and said Johnny you're a cheater
Eb Bb
Well the pimps swung their axes and said Johnny you're a liar
Eb Bb
And from out of the shadows came a young girl's voice said Johnny don't cry
Eb Eb/D Cm Eb/D
Puerto Rican Jane
Eb Eb/D Cm Eb/D Bb (Octaves: Eb D C Bb)
oh won't you tell me what's your name
Eb Eb/D Cm Eb/D
I want to drive you down to the other side of town
Eb Eb/D
Where paradise ain't so crowded there'll be
Cm Eb/D Bb
action goin' down on Shanty Lane tonight
F Eb
All them golden-heeled fairies in a real bitch fight
Bb F
Pull thirty eights and kiss the girls good night
CHORUS 1:

Oh good night, it's alright Jane
Bb Eb F
Now let them black boys in to light the soul flame
Bb Eb F
We may find it out on the street tonight baby
Bb Eb F
Or we may walk until the daylight maybe
Bb Eb F
Well like a cool Romeo he made his moves, oh she looked so fine
Bb Eb Bb F
Like a late Juliet she knew he'd never be true but then she didn't really mind
Bb Eb F
Upstairs a band was playin' the singer was singin' something about goin' home
Bb Eb Bb F
She whispered Spanish Johnny, you can leave me tonight but just don't leave me alone
Eb Eb/D Cm Eb/D
And Johnny cried Puerto Rican Jane
Eb Eb/D Cm Eb/D Bb (Octaves: Eb D C Bb)
Word is down the cops have found the vein
Eb Eb/D Cm Eb/D
Oh them barefoot boys left their homes for the woods
Eb Eb/D Cm Eb/D
Them little barefoot street boys they say homes ain't no good
Bb F Eb
They left the corners threw away all their switchblade knives
Bb F
And kissed each other goodbye
Bb Eb F
Johnny was sittin' on the fire escape watchin' the kids playin' down the street
Bb Eb
He called down Hey little heroes, summer's long
F
But I guess it ain't very sweet around here anymore
Bb Eb
Janey sleeps in sheets damp with sweat
F
Johnny sits up alone and watches her dream on, dream on
Bb
And the sister prays for lost souls
Eb F
Then breaks down in the chapel after everyone's gone
Bb
Jane moves over to share her pillow
Eb F
But opens her eyes to see Johnny up and putting his clothes on
Eb
She says those romantic young boys
Bb
All they ever want to do is fight
Eb
Those romantic young boys they're callin' through the window
Bb F
Hey Spanish Johnny, you want to make a little easy money tonight?
And Johnny whispered
CHORUS 2:
