 Em
Everything dies, baby,
G
That's a / fact,
       / Em                             /

         / G
Some / day comes back.

Put your / makeup on,
              / G

           / Em
Well, I / got a job, and
              / G
I put my / money a - way,
         / Em
But I / got the kind of debt
                        / G
That no honest / man can pay.
       / Em
So I / drew out what I had
               / G
From the / Central Trust, and
 / Em
I / bought us two tickets
            / D
On that / Coast City bus.

Chorus:

               / Em
Now our / luck may have died, and

Our / love might be cold,
               / C
But with / you for - ever I'll / stay.
             / Em
We'll be / goin' out,
                 / G
Where the / sands turn to gold,
                     / Em
But put your / stockin's on,
              / D
'Cause it / might get cold.

                             / Em
Now I've been a -  / lookin' for a / job,
            / G
But it's / hard to find,
            / Em
There's / winners and there's losers, and
        / G
I am / South of the line.
               / Em
Well, I'm / tired of gettin' caught out
           / G
On the / losin' end,
         / Em
But I / talked to a man last night,
                          / D
Gonna do a little / favor for him.

Oh, / meet me tonight in At - / lantic City,

Oh, / meet me to - night in At - / lantic City.
       / G
Oh, / meet me to - night in At - / lantic City.
