[Em] [B7] [Em] [B7]
Verse 1:
I’m in a [Em]meat-pack plant by the [B7]gutterside
a [Em]slaughterhouse apartment with a [B7]slice of lime
I’m [C]cruisin’ with the bruisers, boozin’, [B7]I’ll be a
suitor, losing my [Em]mind
Because there’s [B7]nothing to find
The [Em]fetid stench of bad intentions [B7]hangs in the sweat
I’m in a [Em]sauna hot with drama and I’m [B7]tryin’ to forget
All the [C]masochistic rapture mis-steps
[B7]Imminent pleasure’s ready to [Em]cut to the [B7]bone
Chorus:
You [C]said “let loose!” But now you’re [G]lost
While I [D]tied my boots like a [Em]tightrope noose
The [C]problem chased the taste of the [G]cause
While the [D]evidence supports the truth. Is [B7]80 enough proof for you?
[Em]Here’s to my lady and I’m [B7]coming inside
[Em]Drink to me baby, and what’s [B7]left of what’s right
It’s [C]easier to use and lose than [G]never to have used you
On a [B7]xxxxed up Saturday [Em]nigh[C]night.
Good [B7]times on [Em]Front Street [B7]
On [Em]Front Street [B7] [Em]
Verse 2:
Loose [Em]lips sink ships, but captain, [B7]will you go down?
[Em]Float your boat and overboard and [B7]hoping to drown
[C]Tell me what prevented you from [B7]coming downtown all alone
[Em] Because we [B7]know you’re not afraid
This [Em]chastity is Greek to me, the [B7]meat is still fresh
The [Em]gnashing teeth will masticate the [B7]bones from the flesh
Since [C]nobody will tell me where these [B7]bastards go, I’ll see for myself
[Em] I think they [B7]might go to hell
Chorus:
You [C]said “let loose!” But now you’re [G]lost
While I [D]tied my boots like a [Em]tightrope noose
The [C]problem chased the taste of the [G]cause
While the [D]evidence supports the truth. Is [B7]80 enough proof for you?
[Em]Here’s to my lady and I’m [B7]coming inside
[Em]Drink to me baby, and what’s [B7]left of what’s right
It’s [C]easier to use and lose than [G]never to have used you
On a [B7]xxxxed up Saturday n[Em]night[C]ight.
Good [B7]times on F[Em]Front Street [B7]
On [Em]Front Street [B7] [Em]

Outro:
[Em]Last call for mortals, better [B7]cover your drink
[Em]Sodom and Gomorrah, let it [B7]go down the sink
[C]Always [C7]a good [B7]time
On [Em]Front Street
