Verse 1:

             D    A         B       A     D  A  B  A
Down on the boulevard they take it hard
      D       A              B    A     D  A  B  A
They look at life with such disregard
             E                        F#m
They say it can't be won The way the game is run
            E                                   F#m
But if you choose to stay   You end up playing anyway
 A     D
It's okay

Verse 2:

     D        A            B        A     D  A  B  A
The kid's in shock up and down the block
     D         A            B        A     D  A  B  A
The folks are home playing beat the clock
             E                       F#m
Down at the golden cup They set the young ones up
           E                  F#m
Under the neon light Selling day for night
 A     D
It's  alright


Chorus:

 G      D         E
Nobody rides for free
 G      D                 E
Nobody gets it like they want it to be
 G      D             E
Nobody hands you any    guarantee
 G      D    E       D   A   B   A   D   A   B   A
            Nobody


Verse 3:

     D          A            B         A     D  A  B  A
The hearts are hard and the times are tough
             D    A        B       A     D  A  B  A
Down on the boulevard the night's enough
     E                            F#m
And time passes slow Between the store front shadows and the street lights glow
      E                                F#m
Everybody walks right by like they're safe or something
 A           D
They  don't know


Chorus:

 G      D         E
Nobody knows you
 G      D        E
Nobody owes you nothin’
 G      D        E
Nobody shows you    what they're thinking
 G      D    E       D   A   B   A   D   A   B   A
            Nobody


Outro:

 B   A              B   A    D  A                     B    A
       Make it pay Baby        It's only time on the boulevard
 B   A             B   A    D  A                           B    A
    It's like this            It's the way it is   On the Boulevard
 B   A                  B   A     D  A                     B    A
    Yeah  Yeah  On the Boulevard    It's only time on the boulevard
