Am

(Intro)

Am

Spectators line the avenue

Em F

The players step out right on cue

Am

And every night just seems the same

Em F

Nameless faces play their game

Am

The midnight gamblers place their bets

Em F

The tight-rope walkers check their nets

Am

Then comes the queen of broken hearts

Em F

This is the way it always starts

C G F

Finders find love for the evening

C G F

Keepers keep the love they've found

C G F

Losers lose and wind up weeping

Em F

But it's the only game in town

Am

All hail the third string debutante

Em F

She tries to act so nonchalant

Am

Chasin' the prince of alibis

Em F

Into a smokescreen made of lies

C G F

Finders find love for the evening

C G F

Keepers keep the love they've found

C G F

Losers lose and wind up weeping

Em F

But it's the only game in town

Am Em F

Am

My window looks down on the set

Em F

Each night the players strut and fret

Am

So if you'd like to join the rest

Em F

Just choose the part that suits you best

C G F

Finders find love for the evening

C G F

Keepers keep the love they've found

C G F

Losers lose and wind up weeping

Em F

But it's the only game in town

(repeat and fade)
