E For a smile they can B share the night, it G#m goes on and on and A on and on

A Strangers waiting E up and down the boulevard

A Their shadows searching E in the night

A Streetlights, people, E living just to find emotion

Verse 2

E Working hard to B get my fill, C#m everybody A wants a thrill

E Paying anything to B roll the dice, just G#m one more A time

E Oh, the movie never B ends; it goes on and G#m on and on and A on
