[E] [B] Just a small town [C#m] girl, living [A] in a lonely [E] world

[E] A singer [B] in a smoky room, [C#m] a [E] smell of [A] wine and cheap perfume
[E] For a smile [B] they can share the night, it [G#m] goes on and on [A] and on
And the strangers waiting, [E] looking down the boulevard
[A] There's shadows searching [E] in the night
[A] Streetlights, people, [E] living just to find emotion [A] Hiding [E] somewhere
