[E]
Everybody's going away, since they're moving [A] to L.A.
There ain't a soul I know [B] around, [E] everybody's leaving town.
Some call it a freight, some call it a plane, find the sunshine, [A] leave the rain.
They say this town will waste [B] your mind, [B]
must be right, cause it's [E] wasted mine.
Some got to win, some [A] got to lose,
[B] good time Charlie's [E] got to lose.
[A]
[B] [F#m]
[B] [E]
My old heart keeps telling me, you ain't no kid at [A] 33.
Play around [Em] and lose [B] your wife, play too long and you lose [E] your life.
I got my pills to ease the pain, can't find a thing to [A] ease the rain.
Sometimes I'd like to [B] try and settle down, but everybody's [E] leaving town.
Some got to win, [A] some got to lose,
[B] good time Charlie's got [E] to lose.
