verse 1 
E                         Bm 
When it rains, the streets  of Chicago 
F#m                                Am            B 
shine like jewels, though it's just  broken glass 
E                    Bm 
When the sun shines, dirty pigeons 
F#m                     Am                       B 
coo like doves in the dy - ing trees

              G#m                     C#m 
And the drunks   going through the gar - bage 
       G#m                       C#m 
in the al - ley behind my house 
        C                    E 
smile up at the falling buil - dings, 
   Am               C            E 
so bittersweet like crying clowns

verse 2 
E                         Bm 
And through the cars, boun - cing over puddles 
F#m                  Am          B 
Children weave on sto - len bikes 
    E                   Bm 
The vacant lots are full  of old men 
    F#m              Am             B 
sear - ching for nine - teen twenty-five

           G#m             C#m 
And in the parks, lonely wo - men 
             G#m       G#         C#m 
tossing bread   to the rabid dogs 
        C                   E 
smile up at the passing air - planes 
          Am               C               E 
as if the sky were full of snow-white swans
