          Bm            D/A               G            A
while the hooker in the doorway leaves to turn another cheek.
        G              D/F#         Em               B7         B7
And the jukebox in the Camberlay is blearing out the blues
        G               A              G*         A*

          D                D/F#             G              D*  A/C#*
Where the swingers and the hustlers and the evening people dwell,
          Bm                 D/A             G                     A
where the neon shines toward heaven while it lights the way to hell.
G                           D/F#                Em            B7       B7
Time to survive and time to stay alive 's about all a man can do.
        G                           A                    G*         A*

C     G/B            D/F#* D*      D
Where all birds of a fea - ther

       D                 D/F#          G               D*  A/C#*
It's a one-way street to nowhere where nothing's as it seems,
       Bm        D/A                G               A
it's a multi-car junkyard full of a thousand broken dreams.
             G                         D/F#
And it's the end of the line where the sun don't shine
    Em                        B7         B7
and   there's nothing left to lose.
   G                         A                     G*         A*
