[intro]

G                   G                   Bm             Bm
  There's a place I know too well, I've been there and lived to tell
C                    G             G                 D
  And I can see that you and me are almost halfway there
G                G             Bm                Bm
  We're getting much too close, feels like I've seen a ghost
C                  G                        G                 D
  I took a vow if I made it out, you'd never catch me there again

C             C         Em            Em
  No time to wonder why, no time for long goodbyes
C                  G            G                 D
  Last chance for getting out is fading with the light
C                      C        Em                   C
'Cause I don't want to be around when the night comes down
G - D    C    -    D       G    G
  On the lonesome side of town

You can hear each footstep fall, run from shadows on the wall
And every day is just the same as the one that came before
You won't find any peace, not here, not on these streets
Misery loves company, and there's enough to go around

No time to wonder why, no time for long goodbyes
Last chance for getting out is fading with the light
'Cause I don't wanna be around when the night comes down
G - D    C    -    D       G  -  D     C    -    D
  On the lonesome side of town (on the lonesome side)
G - D    C    -    D       G    G
  On the lonesome side of town

C   G   D   G      C   G   D   G
[guitar solo]

No time to wonder why, no time for long goodbyes
Last chance for getting out is fading with the light
'Cause I don't wanna be around when the night comes down
On the lonesome side of town (on the lonesome side)
On the lonesome side of town (on the lonesome side)
On the lonesome side of town

C   G   D   G.
[ending]
