Dodging the blues, but the blues were gaining fast
EmD
Riding the news, knowing news just doesn't last
CGAmD
Heaven, come seven, with the rolling of the bones
CDG
Ah, but winning never feels like going home

He's thick at the bottom, thin at the top
EmD
Like a bottle shaken, with a cork that wouldn't pop
CGAmD
Pretending and descending to the land of woe
CDGDG
Oh, life's not what you think, it's what you know
CHORUS:
N.C. C D G G* G
So take it downtown tonight
DC
When nobody's looking, you can slip it out of sight
DG
Since you're devil bound, it's hell downtown tonight
