E Lisa likes brandy and the way it hits her lips,
E She's a rock 'n' roll survivor with pendulum hips,
A She's got deep brown eyes,
E That've seen it all.
E Working at a nightclub that was called The Avenue
E The bar men used to call her "Little Lisa, Looney Tunes"
A She went down,
E on almost anyone.
GbmA From the hard time living 'til the Chelsea days,
GbmB From when her hair went sweet blonde 'til the day it turned grey
She said;
Chorus:
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 your going 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 your going your own way.
E Some people wear their history like a map on their face,
E And Joey was an artist just living out of case,
AE But his best work, was his letters home.
E His standard works of fiction about imaginary success,
E The Chorus girls in neon were his closest things to friends,
AE But to a writer, the truth is no big deal.
GbmA From the hard time living to the sleepless nights,
GbmB And the black and blue body from the weekend fights
He'd say;
Chorus -2x-:
DbmAEB On my last night on earth, I won't look to the sky
EADbmB Just breathe in the air and blink in the light
DbmAEB On my last night on earth, I'll pay a high price
EAEB To have no regrets and be done with my life
