I was bruised and battered,
and I couldn't tell what I felt
Am
I was unrecognizable, to myself
F
Saw my reflection in a window,
I didn't know my own face
Am
Oh, brother are you gonna leave me wasting away,
Bb Bb F C Bb F C
on the streets of Philadelphia?
F
I walked the avenue till my legs felt like stone,
Am
I heard the voices of friends vanished and gone
F
At night I could hear the blood in my veins,
Am
just as black and whispering as the rain,
Bb Bb F C Bb F C
on the streets of Philadelphia
Bb Dm
Ain't no angel gonna greet me;
Bb F
it's just you and I my friend
Am Bb
And my clothes don't fit me no more;
C
I walked a thousand miles just to slip this skin
F
The night has fallen, I'm lying awake,
Am
I can feel myself fading away
F
So receive me brother with your faithless kiss,
Am
or will we leave each other alone like this,
Bb Bb F C Bb F C
on the streets of Philadelphia
