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