Streets of Philadelphia — Bruce Springsteen

Chords and lyrics for Streets of Philadelphia by Bruce Springsteen (key of F).

Intro

[F] [Am]

Verse 1

I was[F] bruised and battered, I couldn't tell what I felt
I was[Am] unrecognizable to myself
Saw my[F] reflection in a window and didn't know my own face
Oh [Am]brother, are you gonna leave me wasting away on the
streets of [Bb][F/A]Philadelphia[C]
[Bb] [F/A] [C]

Verse 2

I walked[F] the avenue 'til my legs felt like stone
I heard[Am] voices of friends, vanished and gone
At night I[F] hear the blood in my veins
just as[Am] black and whispery as the rain on the
streets of [Bb][F/A]Philadelphia[C]
[Bb] [F/A] [C]

Bridge

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

Verse 3

[F] The night is falling, I'm lying awake
I can[Am] feel myself fading away
So [F]receive me brother with your faithless kiss
Or will we[Am] leave each other alone like this on the
streets of [Bb][F/A]Philadelphia[C]

Outro

[Bb] [F/A] [C]
