Verse 1
C
Now Alice
F
needed money. I put ten dollars on the breeze.
C
As the wind died away,
F
she sank way below her knees.
Bb
F
And as a hurricane passed by,
Gm
F
she clutched the money from the sky.
Gm
F
She must have been at least
Eb
a fathom high.
C
She works the forty second beat,
E
F
on forty second street,
C
With all her golden ambitions,
F
and dead rhinestones in her feet.
Bb
F
And when a stranger said she sucked,
she just smiled, believing luck,
Gm
As she climed into his truck,
F
Eb
F
to make a buck.
Dm
F
Oh my god,
Bb
F
she's run ning 'round the trees,
Gm
F
Said she couldn't touch them
C
F
C
because they're so real.
F
Bb
Alice you remind me of Manhattan;
F
Bb
The seedy and the snaz, the
shoeboys and the satins.
F
E

C
Now keep a watch on your watch,
F
E
and a watch on her watch,
F
C
'Cause if you ain't too careful,
F
he's gonna kick you in the crotch.
Bb
And you're out in the cold,
F
Bb
F
and you know that you've been rolled,
Gm
And the cops don't even stop,
Bb
F
Eb
and you feel old.
C
See, Alice really liked you,
F
but you stayed a while too long.
E
C
Now she want s you to forget it,
F
and come back before too long.
Bb
But make it quick if you could,

Bb
Gm
she's gonna star in Hollywood.

The producer seem s to think
F
Bb
Eb

she's kinda good.
Dm

Me and my cam era eyes,
Bb

Laughing at the light

C
See Alice on the palace,
F
where her name adorns the boards.
C
Ain't no flash in her Cannes,
F
she got the will power of a horse.
Bb
And it's a long way to Broad
F
way from a forty second lay,
Gm
F
Or is it really just a couple
Eb
of block s away?
C
Now, I won der if she wonders,
F
if I won der, if she wonders
C
About the times I put her down,
F
when she seemed to be right under?
Bb
F
She told me morals are tradi tions,
Gm
F
contradic tions, su perstitions.
Gm
F
See, Alice is always based
Eb
Bb
on split decisions.
Dm

Your weaknesses, successful,

You gotta lose what you get,
