lisa likes brandy and the way it hits her lips

she’s a rock ’n’ roll survivor with pendulum hips
A E
she’s got deep brown eyes , that’ve seen it all

working at a nightclub that was called the avenue

the bar men used to call her “little lisa , looney tunes”
A E
she went down on almost anyone
F#m E
from the hard time living ’til the chelsea days
A B
from when her hair was sweet blonde ’til the day it turned gray , she said :

E
some people wear their history like a map on their face

and joey was an artist just living out of case
A E
but his best word was his letters home

E
his standard works of fiction about imaginary success

the chorus girls in neon were his closest things to friends
A E
but to a writer , the truth is no big deal

F#m E
from the hard time living to the sleepless nights
A B
and the black and blue body from the weekend fights . he’d say

chorus

bridge :
A E C#m B
on my last night on earth , i won’t look to the sky
E A C#m B
just breathe in the air and blink in the light
A E C#m B
on my last night on earth , i’ll pay a high price
E A C#m B
to have no regrets and be done with my life
