E A
Lisa likes brandy and the way it hits her lips,
B A
She's a rock 'n' roll survivor with pendulum hips,
E A
She's got deep brown eyes,
B A
That've seen it all.

E A
Working at a nightclub that was called The Avenue
B A
The bar men used to call her "Little Lisa, Looney Tunes"
E A
She went down,
B A
on almost anyone.


F#m Abm
From the hard time living 'til the Chelsea days,
A B
From when her hair went sweet blonde 'til the day it turned grey

She said;


[CHORUS]

E A
L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.
B A
You've got more than money and sense, my friend
E A B A
You've got heart, and you go in your own way.
E A
L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.
B A
What you don't have now will come back again
E A B A
You've got heart, and you go in your own way.


E A
Some people wear their history like a map on their face,
B A
And Joey was an artist just living out of case,
E A B A
But his best work, was his letters home.

E A
His standard works of fiction about imaginary success,
B A
The chorus girls in neon were his closest things to friends,
E A B A
But to a writer, the truth is no big deal.


F#m Abm
From the hard time living to the sleepless nights,
A B
And the black and blue body from the weekend fights

He'd say;


[Chorus]


C#m A E B
On my last night on earth, I won't look to the sky
C#m A E B
Just breathe in the air and blink in the light
C#m A E B
On my last night on earth, I'll pay a high price
C#m A E B
To have no regrets and be done with my life


[Repeat Chorus]
