                           C                  G
Dodging the blues, but the blues were gaining fast

                         Em                D
Riding the news, knowing news just doesn't last

C            G               Am             D
Heaven, come seven, with the rolling of the bones

        C             D                G
Ah, but winning never feels like going home

                         C            G
He's thick at the bottom, thin at the top

                             Em                 D
Like a bottle shaken, with a cork that wouldn't pop

   C             G        Am             D
Pretending and descending to the land of woe

    C                   D                    G    D G
Oh, life's not what you think, it's what you know
CHORUS:
N.C.       C   D      G     G* G
So take it downtown tonight

D                             C
When nobody's looking, you can slip it out of sight

                               D               G
Since you're devil bound, it's hell downtown tonight

                                  C              G
He's beard, bone and gristle, the rest is mostly mule

                                     Em           D
He's running from the whistles, he's running as a rule

   C             G        Am             D
Pretending and descending to the land of woe

             C                 D                   G
Oh, when you give your hand to fate, she don't let go
CHORUS:
N.C.       C   D      G     G* G
So take it downtown tonight

D                             C
When nobody's looking, you can slip it out of sight

                               D               G
Since you're devil bound, it's hell downtown tonight

                           C                  G
