Tom: Bm
Intro: Bm , F#m x4
Bm F#m Bm F#m
He sits all alone, playing his guitar
Bm F#m Bm F#m
In the back of a small café
Bm F#m Bm F#m
No one seems to hear so he closes his eyes
G D F#m Bm Bm x4
Just lets the music take him away
G D G F#
Singing songs of love, songs of broken hearts
Bm E Bm E
He's worn out his luck and his last pair of jeans
Bm E Bm E
But you keep going on when you're living on dreams
G D F# Bm F#m Bm , F#m x2
You can feel it inside and the guitar don't lie
Bm F#m Bm F#m
There's a lady he knows, who often comes by
Bm F#m Bm F#m
She's heavily into the blues
Bm F#m Bm F#m
She requests the same song every night
G D F# Bm Bm x4
Says it reminds her of someone she knew
G D G F#
A trace of her perfume floats across the room
Bm E Bm E
Once they were close, shared all their dreams
Bm E Bm E
But now all that he feels is a physical thing
G D F# Bm F#m
They grow slowly apart and the guitar don't lie
Solo: Bm , F#m x2 Em x4 Bm , F#m x2 Em x4 Bm , F#m x2
Bm F#m Bm F#m
Some nights it gets cold, it makes him aware
Bm F#m Bm F#m
That time is slipping away
Bm F#m Bm F#m
If you look close at his dark curly hair
G D F# Bm Bm x4
Under the lights there's traces of grey
G D G F#
But he knows what it's all about, to feel down and out
Bm E Bm E
He's been there before, he's seen it all
Bm E Bm E
And you learn to survive with your back to the wall
G D F# Bm F#m Bm , F#m x4 Bm
It's a crazy old life and the guitar don't lie, oh no
