Intro: Eb,G#,Bb,Eb
Verse 1:
I've lost all the time that I have in this world
I've spent it unwisely, unwisely you see
And I can't get it back and I can't move forward
I'm broken and I'm empty, it's over for me
Pre-Chorus:
If I could undo all the wrongs that I've caused
Fall to my knees, pray for swiftness and just
For I'm just a fool, a fool driven to dust
And the world ain't gonna change for me
Mandolin Break:

Verse 2:
So give me one more chance to prove these problems and frustrations
Aren't just manifest in memories we're destined to repeat
A second chance to prove I know right from wrong
I swear I'll do things different but can't promise to be strong
Chorus:
So come all you losers, you bastards and cheats,
Vagrants, and barflies down on the street
Follow this path to salvation, vindication awaits
We're marching on East Broadway Street tonight
Verse 3:
If you could look into this old face and try to see the young man
I swear I once was pretty, not the monster you now see
But I squandered all my chances, lost my faith and took for granted
This life and precious one chance, the whirlwind I'll wreak
Mandolin Fill:

Bridge Chorus:
So come all you losers, you bastards and cheats
Vagrants and barflies down on the street

Follow this path to salvation, vindication awaits
We're marching on East Broadway Street tonight
Tonight...
