Leave their tables when you blink, Oh

Every dog must have his everyday

Every drunk must have his drink

Just take your chances

Still you're standing on your feet, Oh
G                         A7
All your choices made you change your mind
D7                      G
Now your calendar's complete

You can say the human heart is only make believe
    D                            G
And I am only fighting fire with fire
    E7                            A7
But you are still a victim of the accidents you leave
   E7                      A7 D7
As sure as I'm a victim of desire

G                        A7
All the servants in your new hotel
D7                        G     C
Throw their roses at your feet, Oh
G                      A7
Fool them all but baby I can tell
D7                        G
You're no stranger to the street

Now your ghosts have gone away, Oh

You can kill them in the classic style
