We bet on our lives and we bet on 
the horses
        F
In that upstairs apartment
     C
On Orlando and 4th
        G                   Am    
And the rent was due and the rent 
       C/G
man was knocking
       F
Like a Chinese proverb
        C/G C/G  C/G G     F
We were al- ways searching

C                       C/E
Nightlife's a no-win but nobody 
noticed
       F
How we killed off the bottles
        C
Looking good on the surface
    G                      Am     
The dog days barked and the house 
   C/G
cat got old
        F
We were Bonnie and Clyde
       C/G      G    C     F/C C
In the emperor's new clothes

        Am
And the tears never came
          G/B
They just stayed in our eyes
     F/C                   F/C  C
We refused to admit that we wore 
            C  G/B
this disguise
      Am
Every inch of us growing
        Gm
Like Pinocchio's nose
      A+      A           
As we walked around in the

   C                          C/E
We flew by our wits and by the seat 
of our pants
       F
In the state of illusion
       C
In the nation of chance
        G                   Am    
And the repo was hauling the wreck
         C/G
 we'd been driving
       F
As the dashboard Madonna
       C/G            G
Smiled back at us kindly

   C                       C/E
We cheated the system never batting 
an eyelid
       F
Seeing only the good
            C
Through the holes in our shoes
        G                      Am 
And our halos were rusty but we 
       C/G
wore them proudly
        F
We were two little gods
       C/G      G    C      F/C C
In the emperor's new clothes
