[Intro]~
A A A A
[Verse]~
A
He was reading Playboy,.. he was thinking that today,.. boy,.. he would try to change
Bm D A
his pattern; step up on the ladder of succes; maybe buy some new clothes
A
She was in a hotel lobby,.. making money was no hobby,.. wating for her Suggar Daddy
Bm D A
she would try to make him happy; heaven knows,.. she could use new clothes
A
Subways full of loners,.. with their guitars and their Hohners,.. singing songs of
Bm D
pacification 'til the police kick 'em out of the metro station; for disturbing
A
the peace!
A
I was sleeping in a hotel I was dreaming about a motel,.. I was somewhere in the
Bm D A
heartland; gonna make a brand new start man; all I need is Mustang Coupe!
[Chorus]~
F#m E D A
And there were Winners,.. Losers,.. Beggars dying to be Choosers
F#m E D E A
I can't stop it,.. give me strengh and I'll rock it,.. rock it
[Verse]~
A
Looking in a mirror,.. everything was so much clearer,.. his hairline was receding
Bm D A
but tonight he would be eating fine food and drinking fine wine!
A
He had a slight hangover,.. when she arrived it was over; he opened the window a
Bm D A
crack,.. he told her of his father heart attack; still brought a tear of his eye
A
But as she talked,.. she said,.. “you lost me,.. could you order me some coffee..? I'm
Bm D
confused about your marriage and your wife and the baby carriage”,.. he said,.. “it's
A
the way things go”,..
A
And the taxis were lined up,.. the guest lists were signed up with the promise of
Bm D A
the evening,.. her perfume was teasing and strong and she feld nothing at all
[Chorus]~
F#m E D A
And there were Winners,.. Losers,.. Beggars dying to be Choosers
F#m E D E A
I can't stop it,.. give me strengh and I'll rock it,.. rock it
[Verse]~
A
Later in the deli,.. she said “don't you dare sell me shorter than you,.. I'm only
Bm D A
making ends meet all the time”,.. he said “I know what you mean”
A
She said “why don't you play guitar”,.. he said “my place ain't far,.. we'll discuss
Bm D
politcs !!!” but all they heard was the way the clock would tick,.. the way time
A
stood still
A
“Have you ever been to Venice..? You know I could take us,.. I need to get away,..
Bm D A
I need” and she started to cry,.. he said “you don't need to say nothing”
A
And the gondolas,.. they were lined up,.. the Grand Canal was shined up,.. they were
Bm D
sipping cappucino and pigeons flew in harmony and he smiled and he said,..
A
“This is really something”
[Chorus]~
F#m E D A
And there were Winners,.. Losers,.. Beggars dying to be Choosers
F#m E D E A
I can't stop it,.. give me strengh and I'll rock it,.. rock it
