[Verse 1]
[D]Joey
[Em]puts her make-up on on [G]really [D]well
She looks cool [G]in [Em]the flashing [D]lights
And all the [G]boys gossip about
[D]the shape of her legs
On these [Em]muddled up and
drunken [D]nights
And if it's [G]all got to [Gm]end u[G]p
between the sheet[C]s
She [G]can coo [Gm]like a virgin [G]dove[C]
But really [Em]she just doesn't
[D]want to be alone
And if you [Em]want [D]you [Em]can call [D]that [Em]love
[G][Em]

[Verse 2]
[Em]M6 southbound roadside[D] cafe on a[G]
[Em]wild wet and windy [G]night
There's [Em]a kid in a sleeping bag [D]huddled in [G]a corner,
try[Em]ing to beg [D]a light
He's got [G]mum an[D]d d[Gm]ad
tattooed on his [Em]arm
[G]From when he thought that that
would [Gm]make it [C]alright
He's got [Em]hope and fear on his
[G]young boy's face
Another [Em]innocent taking [D]flight, [G]saying
[A]Give me some place

[Verse 3]
[D]that I can go[G]
[Em]Where I don't have to ju[D]s tify[G] myself[D]
[A]Swimming out alo[D]ne against this
[Em]tide[G][D][Em][G]
[D][Em]
Looking for [G]fam[D]ily looking for tribe

[Verse 4]
They said [Em]go, get out,
we've got our [D]own lives to lead
Now that [Em]water is thicker than [G]blood
And every [Em]house is divided
into single [D]flat[C]s
With [D]their very [Em]own little
welcome [D]rug
[Gm]The shopping mall it is
teeming with [D]life[G]
Fighting for the goodies on [C]the shelf
But there's [Em]those funny old people
on the es[G]calators[Em]
Talking to [D]themselves, saying
[A]Give me some place

[Verse 5]
[D]that I can[G] go[Em]
Where I don't have [G]to jus[D]ti fy myself
[A]Swimming out alo[D]ne against this
[Em]tide[D][G][D][Em]
Looking [G]for family [D]looking for tribe

Well [Em]I sur[G]vive on my[D] own[A][D][Em][G][D][Em][G]
[D]for[Em] a[D][G][D][Em]
[G]whi[D]le [E]or so[Em][D]
Upon a [Em]whim or a bottle of [D]wine
Just trying to make [Em]sense
of these [D]new surroundings
I only [Em]changed my name
a [D]couple of times
Please take me [Gm]back Joey,
I'm [D]really sorry
[Gm]Can we try to make a happy h[D]ome?
But she's gone [Em]with someone else and
[G]they're starting [Em]a family
Trying for a clan of their [D]own, so
[A]Give me some place

[Verse 7]
[D]that I can go[Em]
[D]Where [Em]I don't have [D]to jus[G] ti[D]fy myself
[A]Swimming out alone aga[D]inst
this [Em]tide[G][D][Em]
Looking for [G]fam[D]ily
[Em]looking for [D]tribe
