Scumbag city blues, scumbag city blues

Solo
                A 
And when you're lying in your hotel,
        A
Thinking "good riddance to that"
     G                                       G
Well something creeps inside you yeah honey oh something pulls you back
    A                                          A
But it ain't the one way system that's got you uh coming back around no
G                                             G
It's all those friends and family keeping the size eights on the ground

There's empty cans on River Street, scumbag city blues
Sunday morning feels complete,
When I get back to you
I could skip and give a miss,
That I'd never choose
Cause even though I take the p**s
I'm glad the future's blue
