~ = walk down

Intro: A, E, B7, E

E
Each night I make the rounds
To every spot in town
A                            E                     B ~ A
A lonely man with lonely time to kill
                      B7                           E
All I can say is what a way to live.
E
The paths my memories take
Just make my poor heart ache
A                    E                B ~ A
I think of her I guess I always will
                      B7                           E
All I can say is what a way to live.
D
I'd rather lay me down tonight
A
And never wake again
B7                                          E
Than to face another day the shape my life is in
E
The jukebox playing loud
A face among the crowd
A                              E                       B~A
So much like hers it makes my heart stand still
                      B7                            E
All I can say is what a way to live.

Same chords as before:

I'd rather lay me down tonight
And never wake again
Than to face another day the shape my life is in
The jukebox playing loud
A face among the crowd
So much like hers it makes my heart stand still
All I can say is what a way to live.

All I can say is what a way to live...
