B*      B                A
Worried sick my eyes are hurting
To rest my head I'd take a life
Outside the girls are dancing
'Cause when you're down it just don't seem right

Feeling second fiddle to a dead man
Up to my neck with your disregard
Like a beat dog that's walking on the broadway
No one wants to hear you when you're down

For chorus, use barre chords
 
 C#              B
  Sister luck is screaming out 
  A
  Somebody else's name
 C#              B
  Sister luck is screaming out
  A
  Somebody else's name

REPEAT INTRO LEAD PART

A flip of a coin might make a head turn
No surprise, who sleeps
Held my hand over a candle
Flame burnin' but I never weep

  Sister luck is screaming out 
  Somebody else's name
  Sister luck is screaming out
  Somebody else's name

  What a shame
