#1.

E F#m
How can you tell me how much you miss me,
E F#m
when the last time I saw you, you wouldn't even kiss me?
A G#m F#m A
That rich guy you been seein', must have put you down,
E A E
so welcome back, baby, to the poor side of town.
#2.
E F#m
To him you were nothing but a little plaything,
E F#m
not much more than, an overnight fling.
A G#m F#m A
To me you were the greatest thing..this boy had ever found,
E A
and girl, it's hard to find nice things..on the poor side of
E
town.

CHORUS:
D G C Bm
I can't blame you for tryin', I'm tryin' to make it, too..
C Bm Am
I've got one little hangup, baby, I just can't make it
G B B7
without you.
#3.
E F#m
So tell me, are you gonna stay now?
E F#m
Will you stand by me, all the way now?
A G#m F#m A
With you by my side, they can't keep us down,
E A E
together we can make it, baby, from the poor side of town.
#4.
E F#m
So tell me how much you love me,
E F#m
come near to me and say you need me now.
A G#m F#m A
Oh, with you by my side..this world can't keep us down,
E A E
together we can make it, baby..from the poor side of town.
