Once upon a time you dressed so fine,

Threw the bums a dime in your prime,
G           | G
  Didn't you?

  People call, say, "Beware, doll,
        Em                           F
You're bound to fall." You thought they were all

About having to be scrounging

  For your next meal.

  To be without a home,

Oh, you've   gone to the finest school,
   Em                           F
Alright, Miss Lonely, but you know, you only used to get
G             | G
  Juiced in it.

Nobody has ever taught you how to live out
          Em                  F
On the street and now you're gonna have to get
G           | G
  Used to it.

  You say you never compromise
F                                     G
  With the mystery tramp, but now you   realize
2:03

  He's not selling any    alibis
F                      Em    Dm          C
As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
2:13
     Dm
And say, "Do you want to
F         G
  Make a deal?

Chorus: 2:20
G              C   F
  How does it feel?
G              C   F
  How does it feel

Oh, you   never turned around to see the frowns
Em                          F
  On the jugglers and the clowns when they all did
G               | G
  Tricks for you.
3:11
 C                       Dm
Never understood that it ain't no good

You shouldn't let other people get your

  Kicks for you.

  You used to ride on the chrome horse
          G
With your   diplomat
F                               G
  Who carried on his shoulder a   Siamese cat.
3:31
F           Em               Dm        C
  Ain't it hard when you discover that.
F            Em      Dm          C
  He really wasn't where it's at
3:41
Dm
After he took from you
F                     G
Ev'rything he could steal.

Aww,   princess on the steeple and all the
  Em                        F
Pretty people they're all drinkin', thinkin' that they
G            | G
  Got it made.
4:39
C            Dm
  Exchanging all precious gifts,
Em                F
  But you better take your diamond ring,
G                           | G
  You'd better pawn it, babe.

Pre-chorus: 4:49
F                G

  At Napoleon in rags   and the language that he used.
4:59
F                    Em
  Go to him now, he calls you,
     Dm          C
You can't refuse.
  F           Em
When you got nothing, you got
Dm                 C
   Nothing to lose.

  You're invisible now, you got no
 F             G
Secrets to conceal.

  Like a complete unknown,
