Intro:

 B A B A D A B A


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
