[Verse]
E E/F# E E/F#
Well they broke your toys this morning, Henry, rode your Ford right into dust
E E/F# E E/F#
Surrounded you with strangers who you could not trust
E F#m B E E/C# E
And then they had the gall
F#m B E
To write your name up on the girl's room wall
C#m B C#m B C#m B C#m B
And send you out to Maria who spoke of babies and all

And she wanted to shoot your joy
Bsus E E/F#
Well it's a hard world when you're the new kid in town, ain't it, Henry Boy?

Well now the North side is for diamond studded women subtly selling their wares
E E/F# E E/F# E E/F#
And the West side is for debutantes and would be millionaires
E E/F# E E/F# E E/F#
The East side is for lost boys who know their moves too well
E E/F# E E/F# E E/F#
The South side that's for gamblers, Henry, the train stops once for hell

It's a hard world when you're forced to live out on Broadway
Bsus E E/F#
But Henry I think you're gonna like it well

And now the constellation she points to Gate Eleven, man that's where you got your connections
G#m A C#m B C#m
Whoa let me take a look inside my magic book, I don't think you're beyond my inventions
G#m F#m A
These doctor's appendages I'm giving you for wings, I'm sure they'll meet the occasion
C#m B C#m B C#m B C#m B E
I'm gonna mix you some magic, you'll be spittin' sparks and ready for the invasion
[Verse]
F#m B E E/F# E
'Cause now the Milky Way's a trip for dippers, saw you coming a mile away
E/F# E
In the amusement park you'll get clipped by rippers hiding behind candy canes
E/F# E E/F# E E/F#
In the alley you're gonna get ripped by strippers all who know your name
E E/F# E E/F# E E/F#
In the stalls stand out the soldier-boy kissers on leave for just a day

And Henry he can't take it, he's gonna be a submariner riding underground for the Pope
Asus E/F# E E/F#
Stands on the corner Broadway and Forty Second,and screams "Up 'scope"
