[Verse 1] A G Born into this just a mad dog from hell D G D Born unto those who danced with the devil well A G streets of skid row, bitchin for a fight D G D whores and the bottle, creatures of the night A G pen to the paper, like the sores on his face D G D stories oozed venom, naked truth of our race A G wrote until dawn, alone in his room D G D pages of pain, tore scabs from his wounds [Chorus] G D Some things you can't out run, A they just wait in the dark G D They put him down, kicked him out, A but couldn't kill his spark G D Written words took birth A from his typewritin' machine [Bridge] E G Blew their minds, cut them to their knees E G from San francisco to the LA beat A G D A G D They crowned him the king of little magazines A G D A G D They crowned him the king of little magazines [Verse 2] A G Who are you really, can we come in D G D If you have the answer, can we be your friend A G Fame has a stench, crowds can't ignore D G D They tore at his flesh, begged him for more [Chorus] G D Some things you can't out run, A they just wait in the dark G D They put him down, kicked him out, A but couldn't kill his spark G D Written words took birth A from his typewritin' machine [Bridge] E G Blew their minds, cut them to their knees E G from San francisco to the LA beat A G D A G D They crowned him the king of little magazines A G D A G D They crowned him the king of little magazines [Verse 3] A G He laid down before them, looked up and smiled D G D Hank didn't care if he was loved or defiled A G Said take it or leave it, dare to get close D G D Then try and hide, from the truth that you know [Chorus] G D Some things you can't out run, A they just wait in the dark G D They put him down, kicked him out, A but couldn't kill his spark G D Written words took birth A from his typewritin' machine [Bridge] E G Blew their minds, cut them to their knees E G from San francisco to the LA beat A G D A G D They crowned him the king of little magazines A G D A G D They crowned him the king of little magazines X
