[Verse 1]
A Amaj7
Eddie's got one crazy eye
D
That turns him into a cartoon
D
When a pretty girl comes by
A Amaj7
And there's nothin' here to do anymore
D
He sits on the stoop all day
D
Like there's something he's waiting for
A Amaj7
Cut-finger Louie picks up Eddie in the alley
D
He's got all those guys with him
D
From that town where they all look like Frankie Valli
A
They speak fluently blonde
Amaj7
From her legs to her cigarette
D
And Louie told Eddie that he'd fix him up
D
But he ain't come back yet

A
Zero quit school
Amaj7
And she lost her job again
D
And then her boyfriend beat her up
D
And now he won't let her in
A
So she's walking by his joint
Amaj7
In a black and blue dress
D
She looks at Louie who elbows Eddie who says
D
"Don't tell me, lemme guess."

[Verse 3]
A Amaj7
Louie and Eddie found a reason then and there
D
Carried her over the bridges like fluttering pages they didn't care
A
In the terminal where dreams
Amaj7
Let so many tickets through
D
When strangers look in faces
D
And see somebody there they knew
A
You might meet me tomorrow
Amaj7
As all the lights are blooming green
D
And you're feeling a little lonely,
D
A little sad, a little mean
A
Remember a place
Amaj7
Inside of that hotel
D
Where you could do anything you want to do
D
You couldn't tell
 
[Pre-chorus]
E/F# E/D D
It's more trouble than it's worth
E/F# E/D D
Ah, this is more trouble than it's worth
 
[Outro]
Bm7 E/B
Oh Wild and the Only ones
E/A Em/A
C'mon tell me where you are
Bm7 E/B
Oh Wild and the Only ones
E/A Em/A
I'm waiting you could tell me
Bm7
Where you are
E/B E/A Em/A
 
Bm7 E/B
Oh Wild and the Only ones
E/A Em/A
Why don't you tell me
F#m7 Dmaj7
where you are?
