Verse 2:

Am             G      Am
I ain't no Kid Chicago  I ain't no Al Capone
Am                   G   Am
But there's a windy city in my bedroom alone
Am                      G     Am
I said I don't live in Chicago  I don't know no Al Capone
Am                          G
That bitch took my money and went to Chicago
Am
If I ain't already enough sick and alone
