A man walks down the street [C] and he says [F] Why am I soft in the middle now?
Why am I soft in the [Gm] middle?
The [F] rest of my life is so hard.
I need a photo opportunity.
[G] [F] I want a shot of redemption.
Don't want to end up a [G] cartoon in a [F] cartoon graveyard.
Bone-digger, bone [Bb]-digger, dogs [F] in the moonlight
Far [C] away in my well-lit room
Sniff ear-belly, ear-belly
[Bb] Get these [C] mutts away from [F] me, you know
I don't find this stuff on [Bb] music [C] anymore
[F] If you be my bodyguard, I can be [C] your [F] long-lost [C] pal
[Bb] [F] I _ [C] _ [F] _
can call [C] you Betty
[Bb] [F] Betty, when you [Am] call [F] me, you can call me [C] Al
[Bb] A [F] _ [C] _ _
man [F] walks down the street, [G] he says
[F] Why am I short of attention?
Got a short little span of [G] attention
And [F] all my nights are so long
Where's my wife and [Gm] family?
[F] What if I die here?
Who'll be my role [Gm] model?
Now that [F] my role model is gone, [C] gone
[Bb] He ducked back down [F] the alley with some
A [C] roly-poly little [Bb] bat [C]-faced girl
[F] All along, [Gm] along
There were [C] incidents and accidents
[F] There were hints and allegations
[Bb] _ _ _ [C]

[F] man walks down the [Gm] street
[F] It's a street in a strange [Am] world
Maybe [F] it's the third [C] world
Maybe it's his [F] first time around
Doesn't speak [Gm] language
[F] Holds no currency
He is a foreign [Gm] man
[F] He is surrounded by the sound, the [C] sound
[D] _ [C] Cattle in the marketplace
Scatterlings and _ [Bb] orphanages
[C] He looks around and around
[Bb] He sees [F] angels in the architecture
Spinning in infinity, he sees angels
Hallelujah, if you be [C] my [Dm] bodyguard
I can [C] be your [F]
long-lost [C] [Bb] pal
_ [F] _ [C] I [F] can [C] call you Betty
