Am/E   Am

[Verse]
Am
There's a bar in Brussels and it looks the same
     F
As a bar in Paris with a different name
     G                    Em
It reminds me of a bar in Amsterdam
         F
And they all look the same

[Verse]
        Am
There's always a Joe behind the bar
       F
Who'll take your money and pass the jar
     G                         Em
He's no great friend, but it's better by far
     F                        C
Than drinking on your own

[Chorus]
                       G
Win or lose, what's it matter to you?
Dm                          Am
Everybody's doing what they have to do
    F                      G
And like it or not, you're part of it too
             Am   G        F        Am/E   Am
And you're a long way from home

[Verse]
Am
And the joker who plays at being everybody's friend
F
Says he knew you sometime, way back when
       G                         Em
So you buy him a drink and he'll try it again
           F
And you'll see him every night

[Verse]
    Am
And way back in the corner there's a lonely guy
          F
Says he's dying for sure, he's living a lie
G                             Em
Maybe tomorrow he'll give it another try
               F
But he's gotta make it through the night
                             C
Make it through the night

[Chorus]
                       G
Win or lose, what's it matter to you?
Dm                          Am
Everybody's doing what they have to do
    F                      G
And like it or not, you're part of it too
             Am   G        F        Am/E   Am
And you're a long way from home

[Instrumental]
Am    F    G   Em   F

[Verse]
        Am
And the lady who stops and gives you a smile
         F
Says she likes your music, says she likes your style
G                             Em
Maybe she'll let you stop and stay awhile
    F
And pass the night away

[Verse]
            Am
But there's always a morning after the night
          F
When your eyes won't open and your throat is tight
     G                      Em
When everything's wrong and nothing's right
        F
And you don't know what to say
                               C
You don't know what to say

[Chorus]
                       G
Win or lose, what's it matter to you?
Dm                          Am
Everybody's doing what they have to do
    F                      G
And like it or not, you're part of it too
             Am   G        F      Am  Em  F   C
And you're a long way from home

[Chorus]
                       G
Win or lose, what's it matter to you?
Dm                          Am
Everybody's doing what they have to do
F                      G
Like it or not, you're part of it too
             Am   G        F
And you're a long way from home
Am   G        F
Long way from home
Am   G        F      Am
Long way from home
