CF Lisa likes brandy and the way it hits her lips GF She's a rock 'n' roll survivor with pendulum hips CF She's got deep brown eyes GF That've seen it all
CF Working at a nightclub that was called The Avenue GF The bar men used to call her Little Lisa Looney Tunes CF She went down GF on almost anyone
DmEm From the hard time living 'til the Chelsea days FG From when her hair went sweet blonde 'til the day it turned grey
She said

CF L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N. GF You've got more than money and sense my friend CFGF You've got heart and you go in your own way CF L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N. GF What you don't have now will come back again CFGF You've got heart and you go in your own way
CF Some people wear their history like a map on their face GF And Joey was an artist just living out of case CFGF But his best work was his letters home
CF His standard works of fiction about imaginary success GF The chorus girls in neon were his closest things to friends CFGF But to a writer the truth is no big deal
DmEm From the hard time living to the sleepless nights FG And the black and blue body from the weekend fights
He'd say
[chorus]
AmFCG On my last night on earth I won't look to the sky AmFCG Just breathe in the air and blink in the light AmFCG On my last night on earth I'll pay a high price AmFCG To have no regrets and be done with my life
