[E]Cheap perfume and painted faces,
Fallen angels fill the places
Where I [A]go when my troubles pull me [E]down.
All the lies I know they'll tell me,
And the time that they will sell me,
For a [F#]while I'll be the biggest man in [B7]town.
Back at [E]home in bed she's crying,
For her love for me is dying,
But she'll [A]pray I make it safely through the [E]night.
When the [B7]mornin' sun starts showing,
To her [A]bedside I'll be going,
And she'll [E]hold me while I [B7]face the morning [E]light.
And I'll make promises,
Promises to change.
I'll make her [Ab]promises, swear I'll rearrange.
And I'll start [A]giving all the love she needs,
If [B7]only she will stay.[A] [B7]
Once a[E]gain she'll reassure me,
And I believe her love will cure me,
And I'll [A]fall asleep with tears on my [E]face.
Lord I know she's just a woman,
And her love can't last forever,
And some[F#]day soon I know she'll leave without a [B7]trace.
For broken [E]promises
Will tear her dreams apart,
Just token [Ab]promises will someday break her heart.
And for the [A]last time she'll hold me when I cry
And while I'm [B7]sleeping,
She'll [A]quietly [B7]say:
Good[C]bye[D].[E]
