E
Lisa likes brandy and the way it hits her lips
She's a rock 'n' roll survivor with pendulum hips
A E
She's got deep brown eyes, 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"
A E
She went down on almost anyone
F#m E
From the hard time living 'til the Chelsea days
A B
From when her hair was sweet blonde 'til the day it turned gray, she said :
[Refrão]

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

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

L.I.F.E G.O.E.S O.N.
B A
What you don't have now will come back again

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

E
Some people wear their history like a map on their face
And Joey was an artist just living out of case
A E
But his best word was his letters home
E
His standard works of fiction about imaginary success
The chorus girls in neon were his closest things to friends
A E
But to a writer, the truth is no big deal
F#m E
From the hard time living to the sleepless nights
A B
And the black and blue body from the weekend fights. he'd say
Chorus
Bridge:
A E C#m B
On my last night on earth, I won't look to the sky
E A C#m B
Just breathe in the air and blink in the light
A E C#m B
On my last night on earth, I'll pay a high price
E A C#m B
To have no regrets and be done with my life
Chorus (2x)
E A B A (4x)
