        F
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,
                     A#       F C A# F C
on the streets of Philadelphia?

I walked the avenue 'til my legs felt like stone
I heard the voices of friends vanished and gone
At night I could hear the blood in my veins
Just as black and whispering as the rain
On the streets of Philadelphia

A#                    Dm
Ain't no angel gonna greet me;
A#                       F
it's just you and I my friend
Am                    A#
And my clothes don't fit me no more;
C
I walked a thousand miles just to slip this skin

The night has fallen, I'm lyin' awake
I can feel myself fading away
So receive me, brother, with your faithless kiss
Or will we leave each other alone like this
On the streets of Philadelphia?
