{start_of_verse: Verse 1}
oh the [C#m]wind whistles down the [A]cold dark street tonight
and the [E]people they were dancing [G#m] to the music vibe
and the [C#m]boys chase the girls with the curls in their hair
while the [A]shy tormented youth sit way over there
and the [E]songs they get louder, each one better than be[G#m]fore
{end_of_verse}
{start_of_chorus: Chorus 1}
and you're singing the [C#m]songs thinking this is the life
and you wake up in the [A]morning and your head feels twice the size
where you gonna go? [E]where you gonna go?
where you gonna sleep to[G#m]night?
{end_of_chorus}
{start_of_chorus: Chorus 2}

{start_of_verse: Verse 2}
so your [C#m]heading down the road in your taxi for four
and you're [A]waiting outside Jimmy's front door
but [E]nobody's in and nobody's home 'till [G#m]four
so you're [C#m]sitting there with nothing to do
talking a[A]bout Robert Riger and his motley crew
and [E]where you're gonna go and where you're gonna sleep to[G#m]night
