Intro:
Am
Am
Spectators line the avenue
Em F
The players step out right on cue
Am
And every night just seems the same
Em F
Nameless faces play their game
Am
The midnight gamblers place their bets
Em F
The tight-rope walkers check their nets
Am
Then comes the queen of broken hearts
Em 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
Em F
But it's the only game in town
Am
All hail the third string debutante
Em F
She tries to act so nonchalant
Am
Chasin' the prince of alibis
Em 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
Em F
But it's the only game in town
Instrumental:
Am Em F
Am
My window looks down on the set
Em F
Each night the players strut and fret
Am
So if you'd like to join the rest
Em 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
Em F
But it's the only game in town.
