down in a local bar, out on the boulevard.
the sound of an old guitar is saving you from sinking.
it's a long way down, it's a long way.
back like you never broke, you tell a dirty joke.
he touches your leg and thinks he's getting close. for now you let him,
just this once, just for now
and just like that it's over.
(refrão)
don't turn away.
dry your eyes, dry your eyes.
don't be afraid.
keep it all in inside, all inside.
when you fall apart
dry your eyes, dry your eyes.
life is always hard for the belle of the boulevard.
(ponte) E
and all your silver rings, and all your silken things.
that song you softly sing is keeping you from breaking.
it's a long way down, it's a long way.
back here you never lost, you shake the shivers off.
you take a drink to get your courage up. can you believe it?
just this once, just for now
and just like that it's over.
(refrão)
please hold on, it's alright.
please hold on, it's alright.
E E (deixe soar)
Down in a local bar, out on the boulevard.
The sound of an old guitar is saving you.
