[C] Once [Dm] upon a time you dressed [Em] so fine, threw the [F] bums a dime in your [G] prime.
Then you,
[C] people [D] called, said [Em] beware, doll, you're bound to fall, you thought [G] they were all.
I'm kidding you,
[F] you used [G] to laugh [F] about [G] everybody that was hanging [F] out.
[Em] Now you [Dm] don't talk [C] so loud.
[F]
Now you [Dm] don't seem [C] so proud [Dm]

[F] [G]
[C] Oh, you've gone [Dm] to the finest school, [Em]

used to it.
[F] [G] You say you never compromise [F] with the mystery tramp, [G] but now you realize [F] [Em] he's not selling [Dm] any [C] alibis.

did tricks for [G] you.
[C]
Never [Dm] understood that it ain't no [Em] good, you shouldn't [F] let other people [G] get your kicks for you.
[F]
You used to ride on a chrome [G] horse with your diplomat [F]
who carried on his shoulder [G] a Siamese cat.
[F]
[Em] Ain't it hard [Dm] when you discover [C] that [F]
he [Em] really [Dm] wasn't where [C] it's at?

After he took from you [F] everything [G] he could steal.
How does [C] it feel?
[F] [G] How [C] does it feel [F] to [G] [C] have your [F] [G] own direction [C]

[C] [Dm] Exchanging all precious [Em] gifts, but you [F] better take your diamond [G] ring, you better pawn it babe.
[F] You used to be [G]
so amused [F] at Napoleon in [G] rags and the language that he used.
[F] Go to [Em] him now, he calls you, [Dm] you can't [C] refuse.
[F] When you ain't [Em] got nothing, [Dm] you got nothing [C] to lose.
