Verse 1
Well, they [Em]blew up [G]the chicken man in [C]Philly last [G]night
Now, they[Em] blew up [G]his house, [C]too[G]
Down on the[Em] boardwalk [G]they're gettin' ready[C] for a [G]fight
Gonna[Em] see what [G]them racket boys can [C]do[G]
Now, there's [Em]trouble [G]busin' in from [C]outta [G]state
And the[Em] D.A. [G]can't get no [C]relief[G]
Gonna be a[Em] rumble[G] out on the[C] [G]promenade
And the [Em]gamblin' [G]commission's hangin' on by the[C] skin of its[D] teeth
Chorus
Well now,[Em] [G]ev'rything dies, baby, [C]that's a [G]fact
But maybe [Em]ev'rything [G]that dies [D]someday comes [Em]back

Verse 2
Well, I[Em] got a [G]job and tried to put [C]my money [G]away

So I [Em]drew what I [G]had from the [C]Central [G]Trust
And I [Em]bought us two [G]tickets on that [C]Coast City [D]bus

Well now,[Em] [G]ev'rything dies, baby, [C]that's a [G]fact

[D]Now our[C] luck may have died and our[Em] love may be cold
But[C] with you [D]forever I'll [Em]stay
We're [C]goin' out where the sand's[Em] turnin' to gold
[C]Put on [G]your stockin's baby, 'cause[C] the night's [G]gettin' cold

Well, I'm[Em] tired of comin' [G]out on the [C]losin' end[G]
