Verse 1:
A             Amaj7
  Eddie's got one crazy eye
               D
That turns him into a cartoon
               D
When a pretty girl comes by
A                              Amaj7
  And there's nothin' here to do anymore
        D
He sits on the stoop all day
              D
Like there's something he's waiting for
A                           Amaj7
  Cut-finger Louie picks up Eddie in the alley
                    D
He's got all those guys with him
                               D
From that town where they all look like Frankie Valli
       A
They speak fluently blonde
          Amaj7
From her legs to her cigarette
           D
And Louie told Eddie that he'd fix him up
   D
But he ain't come back yet

Pre-chorus:
               E/F#
Well, you know
               E/D           D
It's more trouble than it's worth
E/F#             E/D           D
  It's more trouble than it's worth

Chorus:
    Bm7         E/B
Oh Wild and the Only ones
E/A          Em/A
  Tell him where you are
    Bm7         E/B
Oh Wild and the Only ones
E/A          Em/A
  Tell him where you are
                   F#m7 Dmaj7
Tell him where you are

Verse 2:
A
  Zero quit school
         Amaj7
And she lost her job again
              D
And then her boyfriend beat her up
            D
And now he won't let her in
     A
So she's walking by his joint
       Amaj7
In a black and blue dress
              D
She looks at Louie who elbows Eddie who says
                 D
"Don't tell me, lemme guess."

Pre-chorus:
               E/F#
Well, you know
               E/D           D
It's more trouble than it's worth
E/F#             E/D           D
  He's more trouble than he's worth

Chorus:
    Bm7         E/B
Oh Wild and the Only ones
E/A          Em/A
  Tell him where you are
    Bm7         E/B
Oh Wild and the Only ones
E/A          Em/A
  Tell him where you are

Verse 3:
A                          Amaj7
  Louie and Eddie found a reason then and there
            D
Carried her over the bridges like fluttering pages they didn't care
A
In the terminal where dreams
Amaj7
Let so many tickets through
        D
When strangers look in faces
         D
And see somebody there they knew
     A
You might meet me tomorrow
   Amaj7
As all the lights are blooming green
D
  And you're feeling a little lonely,
          D
A little sad, a little mean
A
  Remember a place
   Amaj7
Inside of that hotel
                   D
Where you could do anything you want to do
     D
You couldn't tell

Pre-chorus:
E/F#               E/D           D
    It's more trouble than it's worth
E/F#                  E/D          D
Ah, this is more trouble than it's worth

Outro:
    Bm7         E/B
Oh Wild and the Only ones
E/A             Em/A
C'mon tell me where you are
    Bm7         E/B
Oh Wild and the Only ones
     E/A             Em/A
I'm waiting you could tell me
          Bm7
Where you are
E/B E/A Em/A

    Bm7         E/B
Oh Wild and the Only ones
E/A            Em/A
Why don't you tell me
          F#m7  Dmaj7
where you are?
