Bb Eb F Bb Eb F
I'm standing in Brooklyn just waiting for something to happen
Bb Eb F Bb Eb
I can't help but love thinking that everyone doesn't get it.
F Bb
To my left there's a window
Eb F
Where did I go?
Bb Eb F
My reflection just blends into rows of clothes.
Bb Eb F Bb
And bad ideas, but ideas nonetheless in song
Bb Eb F Bb
I put one foot in front of the other one. (Oh oh oh!)
Eb F Bb Eb F Bb
I don't need a new love or a new life just a better place to die.
I put one foot in front of the other one. (Oh oh oh!)
I don't need a new love or a new life just a better place to die.
I put one foot in front of the other one. (Oh oh oh!)
I don't need a new love or a new life just a better place to die.
I happen to stumble upon a chapel last night.
And I can't help but back up when I think of what happens inside.
I got friends locked in boxes, that's no way to live.
What you call a sin isn't up to them.
After all, after all I thought we were all your children,
But I will die for my own sins thanks a lot.
We'll rise up ourselves thanks for nothing at all,
so up off the ground, our fore fathers are nothing but dust now.
I put one foot in front of the other one. (Oh oh oh!)
I don't need a new love or a new life just a better place to die.
I put one foot in front of the other one. (Oh oh oh!)
I don't need a new love or a new life just a better place to die.
Bb Gm
Maybe I should learn to shut my mouth.
Eb Bb Eb F
I am over twenty-five and I can't make a name for myself some nights I break down and cry
Bb Dm Eb
I'm lucky that my father's still alive he's been fighting all his life
Bb Eb F
and if this is all I've ever known then may his soul live on forever in my song.
I put one foot in front of the other one. (Oh oh oh!)
I don't need a new love or a new life just a better place to die.
I put one foot in front of the other one. (Oh oh oh!)
I don't need a new love or a new life just a better place to die.
