I've been walkin' these streets so long, singin' the same old song.
4  -4   5  5   5   -5   -5   6  6   6   -5   5   -4  3
I know every crack in these dirty sidewalks of Broadway.
  -6   -6 -6    -6  -6  -7  -7   7
Where hustle's the name of the game.
 -6  -6   -6   -6   -6   -7 7   7   7    7   -7  -6   6
And nice guys get washed away like the snow and the rain.
   6      6  6  -7  -7  -7 -7 -6 6  -6  -7   7   7  7  7 -6 6
There's been a load of compromisin' on the road to my horizon.

But I'm gonna be where the lights are shinin' on me.

Like a rhinestone cowboy, getting cards and letters from people I don't even know.
 -8 -8 -8  -8 -8  7 -7  7    7
And offers comin' over the phone.

 4    -4     5    5     5    5 -5   -5   6     6     6 -5   5   -4   3
But you're down when you're ridin' the train that's takin' the long way.
 -6 -6  -6  -6  -6   -6    -7   7
And I dream of the things I'll do,
 -6  -6 -6 -6 -6 -6  -7 -7 7  7     7    7  -7 -6   6
With a subway token and a dollar tucked inside my shoe.
   6      6 6  -7  -7  -7 -7 -6 6   -6  -7   7   7  7  7 -6 6
There'll be a load of compromisin', on the road to my horizon.

But I'm gonna be where the lights are shinin' on me.
