Am               Ab         F
There was no one nothing to see
Am           Ab           F
The night is useless and so are we
      C          Bb 
Cause everybody knows
    Am        Ab       F                    G    
The fabric of folly is fallen apart at the seams

CHORUS

 Am                          C
And I've been lookin' for a good time
Am                     Ab        G     
But the pleasures are seldom and few 

VERSE 2

Am                  Ab            F
There's no whiskey there's no wine
Am           Ab               F
Just the concrete and a worried mind
      C          Bb 
'cause everybody knows 
Am              Ab          F                     G 
Death creeps in slow 'til you feel safe in his arms

CHORUS

 Am                          C
And I've been lookin' for a new friend
Am                         Ab            G  
And I don't care if he's decrepit and gray 

VERSE 3

Am        Ab            F
O maria haven't you known 
Am           Ab               F
Days so careless all on your own
      C          Bb 
'cause everybody knows 
Am              Ab          F                     G
The circus is closed and the animals have gone wild

CHORUS

 Am                          C
And I've been lookin' for my shadow
Am                         Ab            G
But this place is so bright and so clean
