Lisa likes brandy and the way it hits her lips

She's a rock 'n' roll survivor with pendulum hips
           A                               E
She's got deep brown eyes, that've seen it all

Working at a nightclub that was called The Avenue

The bar men used to call her "Little Lisa, Looney Tunes"
          A                E
She went down on almost anyone
          F#m                       E
From the hard time living 'til the Chelsea days
               A                              B
From when her hair was sweet blonde 'til the day it turned gray, she said :

You've got more than money and sense, my friend
            E            A               B     A
You've got heart and you go in your own way

          B                   A
What you don't have now will come back again
            E            A              B        A
You've got heart and you go in your own way

Some people wear their history like a map on their face

And Joey was an artist just living out of case
         A                         E
But his best word was his letters home

E
His standard works of fiction about imaginary success

The chorus girls in neon were his closest things to friends
           A                          E
But to a writer, the truth is no big deal

         F#m                       E
From the hard time living to the sleepless nights
          A                           B
And the black and blue body from the weekend fights. he'd say

Chorus

Bridge:
       A             E             C#m          B
On my last night on earth, I won't look to the sky
       E            A        C#m          B
Just breathe in the air and blink in the light
       A             E          C#m         B
On my last night on earth, I'll pay a high price
    E          A          C#m           B
To have no regrets and be done with my life

Chorus (x2)
