[C] [Cm]
[Bb] [Cm] There was a [Ab] time I lived the [Bb] life of women, [Cm] song and wine.
I spent my [Ab] nights in loving rooms [Bb] where the ladies [Cm] all were kind.
[Eb] Singing [Bb] songs and spending all in being no [C] one's slave.
[Cm] I still had style [Ab] when the devil smiled [Bb] and he took it [Cm] all away.
[Eb] Sheila, [Bb] can you [Eb] help me?
[Bb] I cannot go [Cm] no higher.
Sheila, [Bb] can you help me?
My head is all [C] on fire.
[Cm]
I laughed at all [Ab] the truth I saw [Bb] and the life I had no [C] more.
[Cm] For fame she [Ab] was a one night stand [Bb] and fortune [C] but a whore.
[Eb] In the good times we [Bb] were riding high till the good times all [Cm] were gone.
[Bb] [Cm] I wasn't sure [Ab] what the bad times were [Bb] till the devil [Cm] pushed me down.
[Eb] Sheila, [Gm] can you [Bb] help me?
I cannot go [C] no higher.
[Cm] Sheila, [Bb] can you help me?
My head is [C] all on fire.

[Cm] [C] Now it's just [Ab] the life of room to [Bb] room where my love has come no [Cm] more.
In the dream [Ab] that I could [Bb] beat the devil from [Cm] my door.
[Eb] Gotta get [Bb] so lonesome when the fire's in [Cm] your veins.
And all you got [Ab] is one last shot [Bb] to get it [C] right again.
[Cm]
