[G]Hangin' out with Lars down on [C] 6th street
He knew that I was in [G] trouble
I was feeling much like the [D] devil
There was something burning deep inside of [G] me
Ran into three Puerto [C] Ricans
These girls took us to the [G] funhouse
Where we [D] played a lonely [G] pinball machine     ([D])

[Chorus]
[C] Hangin on the [D]corner of [G] 52nd and [B] Broadway
[C] Cars passin [D] by but [G] none of them seem to go [B] my way
[C] New York [D] City -- Well I [G] wish I was on the [B] highway
Ba[C][G]ck to Oly[D]mpia...

I'm having a hard time understanding
It gets all too demanding
She's all gone and I'm stranded
Something burning deep inside of me
All I know it's 4 o'clock and
She ain't never showed up and
I whatched a thousand people go home from work

[Chorus]

How many times will it take me
Before I go crazy
Before I lose everything
Something burning deep inside of me
Ran into three Puerto Ricans
Those girls took us to the fun house
I don't want to be alone again.

[Chorus]
