That've seen it all.

Working at a nightclub that was called The Avenue

The bar men used to call her "Little Lisa, Looney Tunes"

She went down,

on almost anyone.

From the hard time living 'til the Chelsea days,

From when her hair went sweet blonde 'til the day it turned grey
She said

L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.

You've got more than money and sense, my friend

You've got heart, and you go in your own way.

Some people wear their history like a map on their face,

And Joey was an artist just living out of case,
E A B A
But his best work, was his letters home.

His standard works of fiction about imaginary success,

The chorus girls in neon were his closest things to friends,
E A B A
But to a writer, the truth is no big deal.
F#m Abm
From the hard time living to the sleepless nights,
A B
And the black and blue body from the weekend fights
He'd say
C#m A E B
On my last night on earth, I won't look to the sky
C#m A E B
Just breathe in the air and blink in the light
C#m A E B
On my last night on earth, I'll pay a high price
C#m A E B
To have no regrets and be done with my life
Repeat Chorus
