C Dm
Once upon a time you dressed so fine
Em F
Threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn’t you?
G C
People call, say “beware doll, you’re bound to fall”
F G
You thought they were all kiddin’ you
C Dm
You used to laugh a- bout
Em F
Everybody that was hangin’ out
G C
Now you don’t talk so loud
F G
Now you don’t seem so proud
C F G
About havin’ to be scroungin’ your next meal
Em F
To be without a home
G C
Like a complete un- known
C Dm
You’ve gone to the finest schools, alright Miss Lonely
Em F
But you know you only used to get juiced in it
G C
Nobody’s ever taught you how to live out on the street
F G
And now you’re gonna have to get used to it
C Dm
You say you never compromise
Em F
With the mystery tramp but now you realize
G C
He’s not sellin’ any alibis
F G
As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
C F G
And say “Do you want to make a deal?”
Em F
To be without a home
G C
Like a complete un- known
