E B Asus2 B

EDown (022100@1)in a local bar
BOut (x2444x@1)on the Boulevard
EThe (022100@1)sound of an old guitar
BIs (x2444x@1)saving you from sinking
       Asus2 (x02200@1)               BIt's (x2444x@1)a long way down, it's a long way

E (022100@1)Back like you never broke
BYou (x2444x@1)tell a dirty joke
EHe (022100@1)touches your leg
                BAnd (x2444x@1)thinks he's getting close

For now you let him
Asus2
Just this once
BJust (x2444x@1)for now
    Asus2And (x02200@1)just like that
     BIt's (x2444x@1)over

      EDon't (022100@1)turn away
Asus2
Dry your eyes, dry your eyes
      C#mDon't (x13321@4)be afraid
            Asus2But (x02200@1)keep it all inside, all inside
         EWhen (022100@1)you fall apart
Asus2
Dry your eyes, dry your eyes
C#mLife (x13321@4)is always hard
        Asus2For (x02200@1)the Belle of the Boulevard

In all your silver rings 
In all your silken things 
That song you softly sing 
Is keeping you from breaking 
It's a long way down, it's a long way 

Back here you never lost 
You shake the shivers off 
You take a drink 
To get your courage up 
Can you believe it? 
Just this once 
Just for now 
And just like that 
It's over 

[Chorus] 

E (022100@1)                  BPlease (x2444x@1)hold on, it's alright
C#m (x13321@4)                BPlease (x2444x@1)hold on, it's alright 
Asus2 (x02200@1)        BPlease (x2444x@1)hold on 

Down in a local bar 
Out on the boulevard 
The sound of an old guitar 
Is saving you 

[Chorus]
