===========================================
[Notes:]
I don't know the proper name for the chord I'm calling D/A.
Could be something like Asus4add6, but I'm not sure...all I
know is that it sounds cool, and Lonesome Dave uses it a lot!

Remember me, you were a friend of mine,
E A D/A A
Restless and young, I'm the one you made love to for the first time.
A Dsus4 D
Now look at you, what you been up to, since I saw you last?
E
Your hair's a mess, you're half-dressed,
A D/A A
You're loaded and you're fadin' fast.
A Dsus4 D
All the dreams, you had of wealth and fame,
E
You took to the city, what a shame, they're all shattered,
A D/A A
Now your heart's in pain.
A
Makin love for a livin', you've given up,

All you've got's a heart of stone.

Makin' the most of a sad situation, Paradise Alley's your home.

A E D
Paradise Alley, a thousand miles away from home, yeah.
A Dsus4 D
Lookin' back, I still recall the time,
E A D/A A
I wonder how in the world was it so easy to be so unkind.
A Dsus4 D
Will you be sorry when you realize the story has to end this way?
E A D/A A
Lost in the night, never quite getting used to all the games they play.
D E A D E A
You wait in vain, and your heart's in pain,
E D
And dreams are all you have to hold on to.
D E A D E A
You're losin' touch and it hurts so much,
E D
To think of all the love I had for you.
