E                                           F#m
The night life has it's glamour when you're lonely
   B                               E       A
It seems to help you make it for a while
   E                                 F#m
It calls to fools who think the only answer
   F#                               B
Is wrapped up in a warm and willing smile
    E                             F#m
And so I went out searching every evening
        B                           E     A
Oh, I'd drink my wine to wet my appetite
       E                                 F#m
Till I find some pretty girl back in the corner
   A               B              E 
To be my life's companion for the night


Chorus:
      G#m                           A
But I just can't seem to take it anymore
       G#m                             A
I feel empty walking though a swingin' door
       A              B           G#m            C#m
Seein' all the lonely people just staring at the band
A                           B                 E
Wrapped inside the feelin', playin' one night stands


I take her home to tell her my sad story
I'd put a teardrop into every word
Though I felt just like a genius when I made up
The lies that I don't think she even heard

The wine will start to bring us close together
Our lips would meet to quench a hungry thirst
We'd slip into a world of champagne feelin's
But in the morning, all the bubbles burst

Chorus
