[Verse 1]
<b class="chord">E</b> <b class="chord">B</b> <b class="chord">C#m</b> <b class="chord">A</b>
Just a small town girl, living in a lonely world
<b class="chord">E</b> <b class="chord">B</b> <b class="chord">G#m</b> <b class="chord">A</b>
She took the midnight train going anywhere
[Verse 2]

[Verse 4]
<b class="chord">E</b> <b class="chord">B</b> <b class="chord">C#m</b>
A singer in a smoky room,
<b class="chord">A</b>
the smell of wine and cheap perfume
<b class="chord">E</b> <b class="chord">B</b> <b class="chord">G#m</b>
For a smile they can share the night, it goes on and on
<b class="chord">A</b>
and on and on
[Chorus]
<b class="chord">A</b> <b class="chord">E</b>
Strangers waiting up and down the boulevard
<b class="chord">A</b> <b class="chord">E</b>
Their shadows searching in the night
<b class="chord">A</b> <b class="chord">E</b>
Streetlight, people, living just to find emotion
<b class="chord">A</b> <b class="chord">B</b> <b class="chord">E</b> <b class="chord">B</b> <b class="chord">E</b> <b class="chord">A</b>
Hiding, somewhere in the night

[Verse 5]
<b class="chord">E</b> <b class="chord">B</b> <b class="chord">C#m</b> <b class="chord">A</b>
Working hard to get my fill, everybody wants a thrill
<b class="chord">E</b> <b class="chord">B</b> <b class="chord">G#m</b> <b class="chord">A</b>
Paying anything to roll the dice, just one more time
[Verse 6]
<b class="chord">E</b> <b class="chord">B</b> <b class="chord">C#m</b> <b class="chord">A</b>
Some will win, some will lose, some were born to sing the blues
<b class="chord">E</b> <b class="chord">B</b> <b class="chord">G#m</b> <b class="chord">A</b>
Oh, the movie never ends; it goes on and on and on and on
[Chorus]
<b class="chord">A</b> <b class="chord">E</b>
Strangers waiting up and down the boulevard
<b class="chord">A</b> <b class="chord">E</b>
Their shadows searching in the night
<b class="chord">A</b> <b class="chord">E</b>
Streetlights, people, living just to find emotion
<b class="chord">A</b> <b class="chord">B</b> <b class="chord">E</b> <b class="chord">B</b> <b class="chord">E</b> <b class="chord">A</b>
Hiding, somewhere in the night
