(David Hidalgo/Louie Perez) [Intro] Am G C G F E7 Am G C G F E7 [Verse 1]
 Am          G        C 
Dreams wash down the gutter

G       F        E7
All my hopes in vain

 Am      G       C
Crows up on the rooftop

 G        F      E7
Laughing out my name
[Chorus]
       C           F   D/F#    G
Here I am on the short side of nothing

       C           F   D       G  C
Here I am on the short side of nothing
[Verse 2]
    Am         G        C 
We danced all night as life stood by

    G     F     E7
We told another lie

         Am        G      C 
Found a spot down by the roadside

  G       F        E7
There I closed my eyes
[Chorus]
       C           F    D/F#   G
Here I am on the short side of nothing

       C           F   D/F#    G  C
Here I am on the short side of nothing

      Am         C 
All alone, all alone

       F   D7     G
Can't find my way home
[Instrumental] Am G C G F E7 Am G C G F E7 [Verse 3]
 Am         G            C 
Summer has come and the heat hangs low

G     F       E7
No escape in sight

 Am       G        C 
Sirens scream and lovers moan

           G   F     E7
Just like any other night
[Chorus]
       C           F   D/F#    G
Here I am on the short side of nothing

       C           F   D/F#    G  C
Here I am on the short side of nothing

      Am         C 
All alone, all alone

      F    D7     G
Can't find my way home
[Outro] Am G C G F E7
