Lyrics

You (G)tell me this town ain't got no (C)heart.

(F)day,

(Dm)Well, (C)well, (Dm)well,

you can (C)never (Dm)tell.

The (G)sunny side of the street is (C)dark.

(Dm)Well, (C)well, (Dm)well,

you can (C)never (Dm)tell.

(F)Maybe that's 'cause it's (Fmaj7)midnight

and the (Em7)dark led of the moon besides.

Don't (Fmaj7)Maybe the dark is from your eyes.

(Don't (Maybe the dark is from your eyes.)

Don't (Em7)Maybe the dark is from your eyes.

(Don't (Ebm7)(Maybe the dark is from your eyes.)

Don't (Dm7)Maybe the dark is from your eyes.

(Don't (Maybe the dark is from your eyes.)

You (G)know you got such dark eyes.

(C7sus)Nothin' shakin' on Shakedown Street.

Used to be the (C7)heart of town.

Don't (C7sus)tell me this (C7)town ain't got no heart.

You (C7sus)just got to (C7)poke around.

(Dm)You (G)think me you seen this town clear (C)through.

(F)day,

(Dm)Well, (C)well, (Dm)well,

you can (C)never (Dm)tell.

I (G)Nothin' here that could int'rest (C)you.

(Dm)Well, (C)well, (Dm)well,

you can (C)never (Dm)tell.

(F)It's not because you (Fmaj7)missed out

on the (Em7)thing led that we had to start.

Don't (Fmaj7)Maybe you had too much too fast.

(Don't (Maybe you had too much too fast.)

Don't (Em7)Maybe you had too much too fast.

(Don't (Ebm7)(Maybe you had too much too fast.)

Don't (Dm7)Maybe you had too much too fast.

(Don't (Maybe you had too much too fast.)

And (G)just overplayed your part.

(C7sus)Nothin' shakin' on Shakedown Street.

Used to be the (C7)heart of town.

Don't (C7sus)tell me this (C7)town ain't got no heart.

You (C7sus)just got to (C7)poke around.
