E5 D#7 Asus2 Bsus2
E5                     D#7
  Down in a local bar
                     E5
Out on the Boulevard

The sound of an old guitar
   D#7
Is saving you from sinking
       Asus2                 Bsus2
It's a long way down, it's a long way
E5                           D#7
  Back like you never broke
                      E5
You tell a dirty joke

He touches your leg
                D#7
And thinks he's getting close
For now you let him
Asus2
Just this once
Bsus2
Just for now
    Asus2
And just like that
     Bsus2
It's over
      E
Don't turn away
Asus2
Dry your eyes, dry your eyes
      C#m
Don't be afraid
            Asus2
But keep it all inside, all inside
         E
When you fall apart
Asus2
Dry your eyes, dry your eyes
C#m
Life is always hard
        Asus2
For the Belle of the Boulevard
E5                          D#7
  In all your silver rings
                          E5
In all your silken things
That song you softly sing
   D#7
Is keeping you from breaking
       Asus2                 Bsus2
It's a long way down, it's a long way
E5                             D#7
  Back here you're never lost
                          E5
You shake the shivers off
You take a drink
            D#7
To get your courage up
Can you believe it?
Asus2
Just this once
Bsus2
Just for now
    Asus2
And just like that
     Bsus2
It's over
      E
Don't turn away
Asus2
Dry your eyes, dry your eyes
      C#m
Don't be afraid
            Asus2
But keep it all inside, all inside
         E
When you fall apart
Asus2
Dry your eyes, dry your eyes
C#m
Life is always hard
        Asus2
For the Belle of the Boulevard
