"While there's still a fighting chance, Can't you just get up and go"
Intro.
                               |Riff 1 |                      |   Riff 2   |

               Am        C       Fmaj7      EmRiff 1
 While there's still a fighting chance
B7        Ebdim7         Em  Riff 2
Can't you just get up and go
        Am      C          Fmaj7       EmRiff 1
 And get away from this hollow romance
           B7Ebdim7    Em  
It's slowly binding us both
(Em)                        Am       C      Fmaj7       EmRiff 1
 Because you tell me what you want and I'll avoid it
B7             Ebdim7           Em        Riff 2
Tell it to the sick and to the damned
               Am       C              Fmaj7    EmRiff 1
Show me what you love, watch me destroy it
                  B7Ebdim7         Em  
For your love just crumbles in my hands
B7
But if you sCtay for a while
                                 G(Hammer down A-string)
I'll try to think of something kind to say
And maybe if we pCray for a while
St. Jude might hB7ear my pleas
And see me on my kB7nees
Because she knows how I aCdore you
We won't be fiB7ghting again tonight
Not if she knows I aCdore you
Fighting in the stEmreets
Riff 2
            Am      C        Fmaj7    EmRiff 1
 I laugh and fall just like Grimaldi
                      B7Ebdim7    Em  
You wear your make-up like Baby Jane
                     Am       C        Fmaj7   EmRiff 1
All of those promising lies that you told me
B7           Ebdim7       Em      Riff 2
Come on and tell me them again
               Am        C      Fmaj7    EmRiff 1
I walked these streets all of my life
B7           Ebdim7        Em      Riff 2
The fear and hope at every turn
            Am             C        Fmaj7       EmRiff 1
She took him, two stepped me and made him a wife
                 B7Ebdim7                Em  
Oh I know, and you know they'll crash an burn
(Em)                            Am          C         Fmaj7    EmRiff 1
Because she'll tell him what she wants and he'll avoid it
                    B7Ebdim7                   EmRiff
May as well tell it to the sick and to the damned
                 Am       C              Fmaj7    EmRiff 1
Show him what you love, watch him destroy it
                     B7Ebdim7          Em  
For your love seems to crumble in his hands
(Em)                        Am       C      Fmaj7       EmRiff 1
 Because you tell me what you want and I'll avoid it
B7             Ebdim7           Em        Riff 2
