E5
Lisa likes brandy and the way it hits her lips

She's a rock 'n' roll survivor with pendulum hips
           A5                               E5
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"
          A5                E5
She went down on almost anyone
          F#5                       E5
From the hard time living 'til the Chelsea days
               A5                              B5
From when her hair was sweet blonde 'til the day it turned gray, she said :

        B5                       A5
You've got more than money and sense, my friend
            E5            A5               B5     A5
You've got heart and you go in your own way
E5           A5
L.I.F.E G.O.E.S O.N.
          B5                   A5
What you don't have now will come back again
            E5            A5              B5        A5
You've got heart and you go in your own way

E5
Some people wear their history like a map on their face

And Joey was an artist just living out of case
         A5                         E5
But his best word was his letters home

E5
His standard works of fiction about imaginary success

The chorus girls in neon were his closest things to friends
           A5                          E5
But to a writer, the truth is no big deal

         F#5                       E5
From the hard time living to the sleepless nights
          A5                           B5
And the black and blue body from the weekend fights. he'd say

Chorus

Bridge:
       A5             E5             C#5          B5
On my last night on earth, I won't look to the sky
       E5            A5        C#5          B5
Just breathe in the air and blink in the light
       A5             E5          C#5         B5
On my last night on earth, I'll pay a high price
    E5          A5          C#5           B5
To have no regrets and be done with my life

Chorus (x2)

E5  A5  B5  A5 (x4)
