[Verse 1]
D D G G
Everybody's gone away, said they're moving to A ,
A A D D*
there's not a soul I know around, everybody's leaving town.
D D
Some caught a freight some caught a plane,
G G
find the sunshine leave the rain;
A A
they say this town'll waste your time,
D D
must be? right? cause? it's wasting mine.
[Chorus]
Em A
Some got to win some got to lose.
D A
Good time Charlie's got the blues.
D D
Good time Charlie's got the blues.

[Verse 2]
D D G G
My heart keeps telling me there ain't no kid at thirty-three,
A A
you play around you lose your wife,
D D*
you play too long you lose your life.
D D
I got my pills to ease the pain,
G G
can't find a thing to ease the rain;
A A D D
I'd like to try and settle down but everybody's leaving town.
[End-Chorus]
Em A
Some got to win some got to lose.
D A
Good time Charlie's got the blues.
D D
Good time Charlie's got the blues.
