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
