Verse
F                     Dm 
Tear drops on the city 
Bad Scooter searching for his groove 
                          Bb              Gm 
Seem like the whole world walking pretty 
Bb                                 Gm     F Dm 
And you can't find the room to move 
  C 
Well everybody better move over, that's all 
Bb 
I'm running on the bad side 
C 
And I got my back to the wall 
 
Chorus             
F Dm F Dm 
 
        Dm       F     Dm 
Tenth Avenue freeze-out, Tenth Avenue freeze-out 
 
Verse
F              Dm 
I'm stranded in the jungle 
Taking all the heat they was giving 
Bb                Gm 
The night is dark but the sidewalk's bright 
Bb                     Gm                       F           Dm 
And lined with the light of the living 
C 
From a tenement window a transistor blasts 
                              Bb 
Turn around the corner things got real quiet real fast 
C 
She hit me with a 
 
Chorus
F       Dm                                          F       Dm 
Tenth Avenue freeze-out           Tenth Avenue freeze-out 
 
Post Chorus
D(9)  Dm    C(9)   C     Bb    Bb(9) 
And I'm all alone, I'm all alone                                           
(Horns Part) 
(And kid you better get the picture) 
D(9) Dm C(9) C   Bb     Bb(9) 
And I'm on my own, I'm on my own 
                                  F     Dm 
And I can't go home 
 
Verse
F                Dm 
When the change was made uptown 
And the Big Man joined the band 
Bb                             Gm 
From the coastline to the city 
Bb                Gm                                F        Dm 
All the little pretties raise their hands 
C 
I'm gonna sit back right easy and laugh 
Bb                                                  C 
When Scooter and the Big Man bust this city in half 
 
Chorus
F     Dm 
With a Tenth Avenue freeze-out, 
Tenth Avenue freeze-out
