F                Dm
A bell strikes, another night
     Eb                      Cm
Your eyes are heavy and your limbs all ache
F                          Dm
Youʼve bought some coffee, butter and bread
    Eb                            Cm
You canʼt make a thing, ʼcause the meterʼs dead
       F             Ab
Youʼve moved away
            F                       Ab
Told youʼre folks youʼre gonna stay away
Eb                   Ab
Bright lights, Soho, Waldorff Street
    F                              Eb
You hope you make friends with the guys that you meet

You feel a little queasy, decidedly ill

Youʼre gonna be sick, but you mustnʼt lose face
   Eb                           Cm
To let yourself down would be a big disgrace

Youʼre only seventeen, but you think youʼve grown
       F                                  Eb
In the month youʼve been away from youʼre parentʼs home
    Bbm                Ab
You take the pills too much
