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

The midnight gamblers place their bets
The tight-rope walkers check their nets
Then comes the queen of broken hearts
This is the way it always starts

Chorus:
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

All hail the third string debutante
She tries to act so nonchalant
Chasin' the prince of alibis
Into a smokescreen made of lies

Chorus

My window looks down on the set
Each night the players strut and fret
So if you'd like to join the rest
Just choose the part that suits you best

Chorus
