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