This is the life (video) (intro) (midi)

Am - F - C - Em

Am

1. Oh, the wind whistles down

F

the cold dark street tonight,

C - Em

and the people they were dancing to the music vibe.

Am

And the boys chase the girls with the curls in their hair,

F

and the shy tormented youth sit way over there,

C Em

and the songs, they get louder, each one better than before.

Am

And you’re singing the songs, thinking this is the life,

F

and you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size.

C

Where you gonna go ? Where you gonna go ?

Em

Where you gonna sleep tonight ?

+ repeat CHORUS

Am - F - C - Em

+ Where you gonna sleep tonight ?

Am

2. So you’re heading down the road in your taxi for four,

F

and you’re waiting outside Jimmy’s front door,

C Em

but nobody’s in and nobody’s home ‘til four.

Am

So you’re sitting there with nothing to do,

F

talking about Robert Riger and his motley crew,

C Em

and where you’re gonna go and where you’re gonna sleep tonight ?

Am

And you’re singing the songs, thinking this is the life,

F

and you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size.

C

Where you gonna go ? Where you gonna go ?

Em

Where you gonna sleep tonight ?

Am - F - C - Em

+ Where you gonna sleep tonight ?

+ Am - F - C - Em

+ CHORUS (4x)

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Am - F - C - Em - Am

+ Where you gonna sleep tonight ?
