Intro:
A#m
A#m
Spectators line the avenue
Fm F#
The players step out right on cue
A#m
And every night just seems the same
Fm F#
Nameless faces play their game
A#m
The midnight gamblers place their bets
Fm F#
The tight-rope walkers check their nets
A#m
Then comes the queen of broken hearts
Fm F#
This is the way it always starts
C# G# F#
Finders find love for the evening
C# G# F#
Keepers keep the love they've found
C# G# F#
Losers lose and wind up weeping
Fm F#
But it's the only game in town
A#m
All hail the third string debutante
Fm F#
She tries to act so nonchalant
A#m
Chasin' the prince of alibis
Fm F#
Into a smokescreen made of lies
C# G# F#
Finders find love for the evening
C# G# F#
Keepers keep the love they've found
C# G# F#
Losers lose and wind up weeping
Fm F#
But it's the only game in town
Instrumental:
A#m Fm F#
A#m
My window looks down on the set
Fm F#
Each night the players strut and fret
A#m
So if you'd like to join the rest
Fm F#
Just choose the part that suits you best
C# G# F#
Finders find love for the evening
C# G# F#
Keepers keep the love they've found
C# G# F#
Losers lose and wind up weeping
Fm F#
But it's the only game in town.
