D                       G                      D
I said I'm through with honky tonks they only bring me down
                                                         A
So I dressed my best and headed for the brightest spot in town
       D                             G                          D
I've watched the rich folks come and go and one thing's very clear
                            A       D
There's just as many lonely people here.

     D                   G               D
I'm just hanging round a better class of losers
                                     A
It don't matter if you drink beer or champagne
   G                               D
I've only found a better class of losers
   G              D          G      D    
Uptown, downtown, misery's all the same.

                       G                         D
It's all been downhill for me since baby walked away
                                                          A
I'm down here at the bottom and I guess that's where I'll stay
       D                         G                 D
I'm a looking for an answer but all that I've seen here
                           A         D
Is the same old lonely, phoney atmosphere.

       D                   G               D
I'm just hanging round a better class of losers
                                       A
It don't matter if you drink beer or champagne
     D              G             D
I've only found a better class of losers
  G               D          G      D
Uptown, downtown, misery's all the same.
  G               D          G      D 
Uptown, downtown, misery's all the same...
