-Verse 1-

E                         
Lisa likes brandy and the way it hits her lips,
                                   
She's a rock 'n' roll survivor with pendulum hips,
          A
She's got deep brown eyes,
                     E
That've seen it all.
 
E                               
Working at a nightclub that was called The Avenue
                                    
The bar men used to call her "Little Lisa, Looney Tunes"
         A
She went down, 
                    E
on almost anyone.


         F#m                       [ch]G#m/E[/ch]
From the hard time living 'til the Chelsea days,
              A                                             B
From when her hair went sweet blonde 'til the day it turned grey

She said;
 

-Chorus-

E           A
L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.
       B                       A
You've got more than money and sense, my friend
           E                 A              B           A
You've got heart, and you're goin' your own way.
E           A
L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.
         B                   A
What you don't have now will come back again
           E                 A              B           A
You've got heart, and you're goin' your own way.


-Verse 2-

     E                                
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 work, 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                     [ch]G#m/E[/ch]
From the hard time living to the sleepless nights,
        A                            B
And the black and blue body from the weekend fights

He'd say;
 

(Repeat 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
 

(Repeat Chorus)
