I was bruised and battered I couldn't - tell what I felt

F
I walked         the avenue 'til my legs - felt like stone
Am
I heard     - voices of friends vanished and gone
F
At night I     - hear the blood in my veins
Am
just as         black and whispery - as the rain on the
Bb
streets of Philadelphia (la la la la...)

Bb Dm
 Ain't no angel gonna greet     me
Bb F
 - It's just you and I my friend
Am Bb C
 - and my clothes don't fit me no more          I walked
a thousand miles just to slip this skin

F
The night is falling, I'm - lying awake
Am
I can     - feel my self fading away
F
so receive me brother - with your - fateless kiss - or
Am
will we     - leave each other alone like this - on the
Bb
streets of Philadelphia (la la la la...)
