[Intro]
E E/D# Asus2 B

E                     E/D#
  Down in a local bar
                     E
Out on the Boulevard

The sound of an old guitar
   E/D#
Is saving you from sinking
       Asus2                 B
It's a long way down, it's a long way

E                           E/D#
  Back like you never broke
                      E
You tell a dirty joke

He touches your leg
                E/D#
And thinks he's getting close

For now you let him
Asus2
Just this once
B
Just for now
    Asus2
And just like that
     B
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

[Riff]

E                          E/D#
  In all your silver rings
                          E
In all your silken things

That song you softly sing
   E/D#
Is keeping you from breaking
       Asus2                 B
It's a long way down, it's a long way

E                             E/D#
  Back here you're never lost
                          E
You shake the shivers off

You take a drink
            E/D#
To get your courage up

Can you believe it?
Asus2
Just this once
B
Just for now
    Asus2
And just like that
     B
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

[Solo]

E                    E/D#
Please hold on, it's alright
C#m                  B
Please hold on, it's alright
Asus2          B
Please hold on

E                     E/D#
  Down in a local bar
                     E
Out on the Boulevard

The sound of an old guitar
   E/D#
Is saving you

      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

Dry your eyes, dry your eyes
