EA Lisa likes brandy and the way it hits her lips BA She's a rock 'n' roll survivor with pendulum hips EA She's got deep brown eyes BA That've seen it all
EA Working at a nightclub that was called The Avenue BA The bar men used to call her Little Lisa Looney Tunes EA She went down BA on almost anyone
F#mAm From the hard time living 'til the Chelsea days AB From when her hair went sweet blonde 'til the day it turned grey
She said
EA L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N. BA You've got more than money and sense my friend EABA You've got heart and you go in your own way EA L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N. BA What you don't have now will come back again EABA You've got heart and you go in your own way
EA Some people wear their history like a map on their face BA And Joey was an artist just living out of case EABA But his best work was his letters home
EA His standard works of fiction about imaginary success BA The chorus girls in neon were his closest things to friends EABA But to a writer the truth is no big deal
F#mAm From the hard time living to the sleepless nights AB And the black and blue body from the weekend fights
He'd say
C#mAEB On my last night on earth I won't look to the sky C#mAEB Just breathe in the air and blink in the light C#mAEB On my last night on earth I'll pay a high price C#mAEB To have no regrets and be done with my life
