Verse 1:

G* C*

Hangin' out with Lars down on 6th street,

G*

He knew that I was in trouble

D*

I was feeling much like the devil,

G*

There was something burnin' deep inside of me

C*

Ran into three Puerto Ricans

G*

These girls took us to the funhouse

D* G* DDDDD

Where we played a lonely pinball machine

Chorus:

C D G C

Hangin' on the corner of 52nd and Broadway

C D G C

Cars passin' by, but none of them seem to go my way

C D G C

New York City, well I wish I was on the highway

C* G* D*

Back to Olympia...

Verse 2:

G* C*

I'm having a hard time understanding

G*

It gets all too demanding

D*

She's all gone and I'm stranded

G*

Something burning deep inside of me

C*

All I know it's 4 o'clock, and

G*

She ain't never showed up

D* G* DDDDD

And I watched a thousand people go home from work

Verse 3:

G* C*

How many times will it take me,

Those girls took us to the funhouse

I don't wanna be alone again
