[F] [Bb]
[Gm] [C]
[F]
Everybody's gone away, said they're [Bb] moving to L.A.
There's not a [C] soul I know around.
[F] Everybody's leaving town.
Some caught a freight, some caught a plane.
Finally, the [Bb] sunshine leaves the rain.
They said this [C] town's a waste of time.
I guess they're right, [F] it's a waste of mine.
Some's gotta [Gm] win, some's gotta [C] lose.
Good time [F] Charlie's got to lose.
[C] Good time [F] Charlie's got to lose.
[Bb]
[C]
[F]
You know my heart keeps telling me
you're not a kid [Bb] in 33.
You play [F] around, you [C] lose your wife.
You play too long, [F] you lose your life.
I got my pills to ease the pain.
Can't find a thing [Bb] to ease the rain.
I'd love to try [C] and settle down.
But everybody's [F] leaving town.
Some's gotta win, [Gm] some's gotta lose.
[C] Good time Charlie's [F] got to lose.
[C] Good time [F] Charlie's got to lose.
[C] Good time [F] Charlie's got to lose.
