[F] [G]
[D] [Dm]
[C]
[C] Born in a [Dm] troubled city In [C] rock and roll USA
In the shadow of the [D] tallest building I vowed I [G] would break away
[Dm] Listened to the [D] Sunday actors But all they would [Dm] ever say
That you can't get away from [G] it No, you can't get away
[G] No, you can't [Dm] get away from [G] it No, you [Dm] can't get away
[G] [Dm]
[C] [Dm] [C] Schooled on the city's [Dm] sidewalks Coldness at every [D] turn
Knew I had to find [D] the exits [Dm] I [D] never ever would return
[Dm] Scoffed at the [D] prophet's omens That said I would live to [Dm] learn
That you can't get away from it No, [G] you can't [Dm] get away
[D] No, you can't get away from [Dm] it No, you can't get away
[A] [Dm]
[Dm]
[D] [Dm]
Gone out of Haiti to the West Coast Stopped in a sleepy town
[C] [D] Left my change and [C] walked out I didn't even [D] turn around
What they were getting next time Was that old familiar [Dm] sound
That you can't get away from [G] No, you can't get away
No, you can't get away from it No, you [Dm] can't get away
[D] In [G] [D]
[Dm] a hotel room in Amsterdam On a wild [C] and windy [Dm] August night
As a cloud [G] passed [D] over a cold moon [D] My heart was seized with terror and fright
Seeping up through the floorboards [C] Coming in [G] through the walls
[C] Coming in through the doorway Ringing up and down the [Dm] halls
That you can't get away from [G] it No, you [Dm] can't get away
[G] No, you can't get away from it No, you can't [Dm] get away
[G] No, you can't get away No, [Dm] you can't get away
No, you can't get away [G] No, you [Dm] can't get away
No, you can't get away No, [Dm] you can't get away
