INTRO:
E                                   F#m 
Doo..do..do..do..wah.....shoo..bee..doo..bee.  
E                                   F#m

#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.
