As recorded by Bruce Springsteen (From the 2025 Box Set TRACKS II: THE LOST ALBUMS) [Intro] C [Verse 1]
C                                 Dm    C
How can you tell me that you miss me

                             Dm                          F
When the last time I saw you, you wouldn't even kiss me?

                          Em     Dm
That rich guy you've been seeing

                           F
Well, he must have put you down

   C                  F
So welcome back, baby

                    C
To the poor side of town
[Verse 2]
C                              Dm         C
To him, you were nothing but a plaything

                               Dm     F
Nothing more than an overnight fling

                        Em   Dm
To me, you were the greatest

                            F
The greatest thing I'd ever found

         C                     F
And it's hard to find nice things

                    C     Bb
On the poor side of town
[Bridge]
                      Am
I can't blame you for trying

Bb                     Am
 I'm trying to make it too

Bb                   Am
 I got one little problem

Gm                       F    A  D
 I can't make it without you
[Verse 3]
                                        Em         D
So tell me, baby, will you think you'll stay now?

                                  Em       G
You know I'd stand by you all the way now

        F#m
Side by side, darlin'

Em                        G
No one could ever keep us down

  D                             G
Together we could make it, baby

                      D    G
From the poor side of town

D                       G
Together we can make it

                   D
From the poor side of town
