My favourite album of all time (28 years so far) is 'this side of paradise'
singer Ric Ocasek, guitarist Steve Stevens..
I play it, when I'm drunk, as following. Riff on D
G D G
The midnight, was rebellious bug you
D G
From inside you want to scream
D G
The comic cut is your arrival
D G D
Your reflection is obscene
G D
Well, you're looking for another end, doing time
G D
But you still can't turn away
G D
Well, you're looking for a real friend, any kind,
G D
who wants to play the games you play
G C D D
On this side of paradise
G C D D
Well, you're never gonna go through twice
G C D D
Stay tuned, at any price
G Fmaj7 D D G
To this side of paradise
D G
Cylinder dreams passing in stages
D G
Authority changing crims, left to bare
D G
Broadway windows, give caw-cages
D G D
Where escape is fairly rare
G D
Well, you're looking for another end, doing time,
G D
But you still can't turn away
G D
Well, you're looking for a real friend, (friend), any kind,
G D
Who wants to play the games you play
Rpt Chorus
G D G D
You've got to keep yourself well amused
G D
Pay no attention to the faulty news
G D
Set yourself on automatic cruise
G D
Sometimes you just got to lose...
