Key: D
Introduction:
D
I hear the Seven Deadly Sins
Bm G
And the Terrible Twins came to call on you
D
The bigger they are baby
A
The harder they fall on you
D D/F# G A D
And you you're always the same you persevere
D/F# G
On the same old pleasure ground
D/F# G A G
Oh and it never rains around here
A D
It just comes pouring down
D
You had no more volunteers
Bm G
So you got profiteers for to help you out
D
Well with friends like that babe
A
Good friends you had to do without
D D/F# G A D
And now they've taken the chains and the gears
D/F# G
From off your merry-go-round
D/F# G A G
Oh and it never rains around here
A D
It just comes pouring down
D
Now your new Romeo
Bm G
Was just a gigolo when he let you down
D
See the faster they are babe
A
The faster they get out of town
D G A D
Leaving make up stains and the tears
G
Of a clown
Bm D/F# G A G
Yes and it never rains around here
A D
It just comes pouring down
A Em A Em
Oh you were just a roller coaster memory
A Em A Em G D
I don't know why I was even passing through
A Em A Em D G
Saw you making a date with Destiny
A Em A Em
When he came around here asking after you
A Em A Em A Em
In the shadow of the Wheel of Fortune
A Em A Em G D
You're busy trying to clear your name
A Em A Em D G
You say 'I may be guilty yeah that may be true
A Em A Em A Em
But I'd be lying if I said I was to blame
A Em A Em
See we could have been major contenders
A Em A Em
We never got no money no breaks'
A Em A Em
You've got a list of all the major offenders
A Em A Em A G D
You got a list of all their major mistakes
A Em A Em
And he just standing on the shadows
A Em A Em G D
Yes and he smile that come-on smile
A Em A Em
Oh I can still hear you say as clear as the day
A Em A Em
'I'd like to make it worth your while'
D
Oh but it's a sad reminder
Bm G
When your organ grinder has to come to you for the rent
D
And all you've got to give him
A
Is the use of your side-show tent
D G A D
Yes and that's all that remains of the years
G
Spent doing the rounds
Bm D/F# G A G
Yes and it never rains around here
A D
It just comes pouring down
A Em A Em
Now you know what they say about beggars
A Em A Em
You can't complain about the rules
A Em A Em
And you know what they say about beggars
A Em A Em D G
You know who's the first to blame his tools
A Em A Em
You never gave a damn about who you pick up
A Em A Em G D
And leave layin' bleedin' on the ground
A Em A Em
You screw people over on the way up
A Em A Em
Because you thought that you were never coming down
A Em A Em
And he'll take you out in Vaudeville Valley
A Em A Em G D
With his hand up smothering your screams
A Em A Em D
And he'll screw you down in Tin Pan Alley
A Em A Em
In the city of a billion dreams
