Verse 1
(G major) (B minor) (C major) (D major) (G major) (C major) (G major) Early
wrapped in nineteen years
in (B minor) a coat from forty -one
At (G major) looks that'll (F major) make a grown man (C major) cry
From (G major) the Diamantina river country
She (B minor) crossed the dry Midwest
From (C major) her chattered dreams
And (D major) shuttered schemes
She (G major) broke the ties
The commercial man made blunt demands
As they (B minor) traveled south
by east (B major) (B minor) (G major)
Ellie became (F major) a woman overnight (C major)
He (G major) set her down in the heart of town
The (B minor) millionaire's (B major) retreat
She (B minor) gazed (C major) up at the tall glass
(D major) of surface paradise (G major)
If the (C major) deck's been marked
before the deal
(G major) You (B minor) (G major) learn (B minor) to compromise (G major) (B minor)
(D major) You get (Dsus4) to play the cool (D major)
hand with the dice (G major) (C major) (G major)
And you learn (C major) to live off losers
For they (G major) make their mistakes twice
You're (B minor) (D major) living
in (Dsus4) high soci (D major) ety,
but you're streetwise (A minor)
Just to sur (G major) vive, la -la -la (C major) -whoa
Just to sur (G major) vive, la -la -la (C major) -whoa (G major)
Because the centerfold looks
in babe -blue eyes
Man, (B minor) (B major) she's stacked him in
All (B minor) the (G major) senators and all the (F major) doctors
called her Ma (C major) dame
With (G major) her fifteen girls she built a world,
a (B major) pleasure paradise
On what a (C major) man of God
would (D major) call the wages of (G major) sin (C major) (G major)
If today's (C major) been marked
before the deal
You (B minor) learn to compromise (G major)
You (D major) get to play the cool
hand with the (G major) dice (C major) (G major)
And you (C major) learn to live off losers
For they (B minor) make (G major) their mistakes twice (B minor)
(G major) You're (D major) living (Dsus4) in high so (D major) ciety
But you're street (A minor) wise
Just to sur (G major) vive, la, la, la
(C major) Just to sur (G major) vive, la, la, la
(C major) Just to sur (G major) vive, la, la, la
(C major) Just to sur (G major) vive
(C major) A (G major) wealthy woman drinks
with diamond rings
Twenty (B major) stories high (B minor)
(G major) It looks out as (F major) the sun lifts from the (C major) sea
To (G major) make it to the top
Ellis (B major) sacrificed the Lord
Found (C major) a seven -figure sum
(D major) It was way too high (G major) a fee
If the (C major) deck's been marked
before the deal
You (B minor) learn to compromise (G major)
(D major) You get to play the cool (Dsus4) hand
(D major) with the (G major) dice (C major) (G major)
And you learn (C major) to live off losers
For they (B minor) make (G major) their mistakes
twice (B minor) (G major)
You're (B minor) (D major) living in high society
But you're streetwise (A minor)
Just to sur (G major) vive, na -na -na -na (C major) -na
Just to sur (G major) vive,
na -na -na -n (C major) a -na
