E
Lisa likes brandy and the way it hits her lips,

        E
She's a rock 'n' roll survivor with pendulum hips,

          A
She's got deep brown eyes,

                E
That've seen it all.

E
Working at a nightclub that was called The Avenue

    E
The bar men used to call her "Little Lisa, Looney Tunes"

She went down, 

               E
on almost anyone.

From the hard time living 'til the Chelsea days,

              F#m                             B
From when her hair went sweet blonde 'til the day it turned grey
She said; [Chorus]

[Verse]
     E                                 
Some people wear their history like a map on their face,

     E                     
And Joey was an artist just living out of case,

        A                             E
But his best work, was his letters home.

    E                                
His standard works of fiction about imaginary success,

    E                             
The chorus girls in neon were his closest things to friends,

          A                          E  
But to a writer, the truth is no big deal.
[Pre-Chorus]
         F#m                     A
From the hard time living to the sleepless nights,

        F#m                          B
And the black and blue body from the weekend fights
He'd say; [Chorus]
E           A

      C#m           A              E           B

     E              A       C#m          B
Just breathe in the air and blink in the light

      C#m           A           E          B
On my last night on earth, I'll pay a high price

   E         A            E            B
To have no regrets and be done with my life
