Am
(Intro)

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

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

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

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

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

Am    Em  F

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

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
