We gotta get out of this place (Mann, Weil)
N.C. (C7)

In this dirty old part of the city Where the sun refused to shine
People tell me there ain't no use in tryin'

Bb B C                                Bb  B  C                    
Now my girl you're so young and pretty  
And one thing I know is true
You'll be dead before your time is due, I know (it) 
Watch my daddy in bed and tired
Watch his hair thin and turning grey, yeah                                    
He's been working and slaving his life away
Oh yes I know (/ I know he's been working so hard)
Yeah, he's been working so hard
(/yeah,I've been working too babe)
Yeah, ma been working too, baby
(/yeah, every day, babe)
Yeah, every night and day
Yeah, yeah, yeah

(Chorus:)
 F             Bb         C
We gotta get out of this place
 F                         G   C
If it's the last thing we ever do
 F             Bb         C
We gotta get out of this place
     Dm
'Cos girl there's a better life for me and you
