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