Tom: Am
Am/E F G Em F
Am/E Am
[Verse]
Am
There's a bar in Brussels and it looks the same
F
As a bar in Paris with a different name
G Em
It reminds me of a bar in Amsterdam
F
And they all look the same
[Verse]
Am
There's always a Joe behind the bar
F
Who'll take your money and pass the jar
G Em
He's no great friend, but it's better by far
F C
Than drinking on your own
[Chorus]
G
Win or lose, what's it matter to you?
Dm Am
Everybody's doing what they have to do
F G
And like it or not, you're part of it too
Am G F Am/E Am
And you're a long way from home
[Verse]
Am
And the joker who plays at being everybody's friend
F
Says he knew you sometime, way back when
G Em
So you buy him a drink and he'll try it again
F
And you'll see him every night
[Verse]
Am
And way back in the corner there's a lonely guy
F
Says he's dying for sure, he's living a lie
G Em
Maybe tomorrow he'll give it another try
F
But he's gotta make it through the night
C
Make it through the night
[Chorus]
G
Win or lose, what's it matter to you?
Dm Am
Everybody's doing what they have to do
F G
And like it or not, you're part of it too
Am G F Am/E Am
And you're a long way from home
[Instrumental]
Am F G Em F
[Verse]
Am
And the lady who stops and gives you a smile
F
Says she likes your music, says she likes your style
G Em
Maybe she'll let you stop and stay awhile
F
And pass the night away
[Verse]
Am
But there's always a morning after the night
F
When your eyes won't open and your throat is tight
G Em
When everything's wrong and nothing's right
F
And you don't know what to say
C
You don't know what to say
[Chorus]
G
Win or lose, what's it matter to you?
Dm Am
Everybody's doing what they have to do
F G
And like it or not, you're part of it too
Am G F Am Em F C
And you're a long way from home
[Chorus]
G
Win or lose, what's it matter to you?
Dm Am
Everybody's doing what they have to do
F G
Like it or not, you're part of it too
Am G F
And you're a long way from home
Am G F
Long way from home
Am G F Am
Long way from home
