[Intro]
Am/E    F    G   Em   F
Am/E   Am
[Verse]
AmThere's a bar in Brussels and it looks the same
As a Fbar in Paris with a different name
It reGminds me of a bar in EmAmsterdam
And they Fall look the same
[Verse]
There's Amalways a Joe behind the bar
Who'll Ftake your money and pass the jar
He's Gno great friend, but it's Embetter by far
Than Fdrinking on your ownC  
[Chorus]
Win or lose, what's it Gmatter to you?
DmEverybody's doing what they Amhave to do
And Flike it or not, you're Gpart of it too
And you're a Amlong Gway from FhomeAm/E  Am  
[Verse]
AmAnd the joker who plays at being everybody's friend
FSays he knew you sometime, way back when
So you Gbuy him a drink and he'll Emtry it again
And you'll Fsee him every night
[Verse]
And Amway back in the corner there's a lonely guy
Says he's Fdying for sure, he's living a lie
GMaybe tomorrow he'll give it aEmnother try
But he's gotta Fmake it through the night
Make it through the nightC  
[Chorus]
Win or lose, what's it Gmatter to you?
DmEverybody's doing what they Amhave to do
And Flike it or not, you're Gpart of it too
And you're a Amlong Gway from FhomeAm/E  Am  
[Instrumental]
Am    F    G   Em   F
[Verse]
And the Amlady who stops and gives you a smile
Says she Flikes your music, says she likes your style
GMaybe she'll let you stop and Emstay awhile
And Fpass the night away
[Verse]
But there's Amalways a morning after the night
When your Feyes won't open and your throat is tight
When Geverything's wrong and Emnothing's right
And you Fdon't know what to say
You don't know what to sayC  
[Chorus]
Win or lose, what's it Gmatter to you?
DmEverybody's doing what they Amhave to do
And Flike it or not, you're Gpart of it too
And you're a Amlong Gway from FhomeAm  Em  F  C  
[Chorus]
Win or lose, what's it Gmatter to you?
DmEverybody's doing what they Amhave to do
FLike it or not, you're Gpart of it too
And you're a Amlong Gway from Fhome
AmLong Gway from Fhome
AmLong Gway from FhomeAm

There's a bar in Brussels and it looks the same

As a bar in Paris with a different name

It reminds me of a bar in Amsterdam

And they all look the same

There's always a Joe behind the bar

Who'll take your money and pass the jar

He's no great friend, but it's better by far

And you're a long way from home

[Verse]

And the joker who plays at being everybody's friend

Says he knew you sometime, way back when

G Em

So you buy him a drink and he'll try it again

And you'll see him every night

[Verse]

And way back in the corner there's a lonely guy

Says he's dying for sure, he's living a lie

G Em

Maybe tomorrow he'll give it another try

But he's gotta make it through the night

Make it through the night

Maybe she'll let you stop and stay awhile

And pass the night away

[Verse]

But there's always a morning after the night

When your eyes won't open and your throat is tight

When everything's wrong and nothing's right

And you don't know what to say

You don't know what to say

[Chorus]

Win or lose, what's it matter to you?
