[Verse 1]
          F#m          A              D           A
Well, they blew up the chicken man in Philly last night
        F#m      A          D   A
Now they blew up his house too
           F#m                A            D      A
Down on the boardwalk they're gettin' ready for a fight
     F#m            A               D   A
Gonna see what them racket boys can do
           F#m      A              D      A
Now there's trouble bustin' in from outta state
       F#m         A        D    A
And the D.A. can't get no relief
          F#m     A         D     A
Gonna be a rumble out on the promenade
        F#m                   A                D            E
And the gamblin' commission's hangin' on by the skin of its teeth
 
[Chorus]
         F#m         A           D        A
Well now, everything dies, baby, that's a fact
          F#m             A        E         F#m
But maybe everything that dies someday comes back
         F#m    A            D       A
Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty
    F#m       A          D      A
And meet me tonight in Atlantic City
 
[Interlude]
F#m  A  D  A  x2
 
[Verse 2]
       F#m     A                   D         A
Well, I got a job and tried to put my money away
         F#m         A        D        A
But I got debts that no honest man can pay
    F#m          A           D        A
So I drew what I had from the Central Trust
     F#m            A              D           E
And I bought us two tickets on that Coast City bus
 
[Chorus]
         F#m         A           D        A
Now baby, everything dies, baby, that's a fact
          F#m             A        D         A
But maybe everything that dies someday comes back
         F#m    A            D       A
Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty
    F#m       A          D      A
And meet me tonight in Atlantic City
 
[Interlude]
F#m  A  D  A  x4
 
[Bridge]
       D                          F#m
Now our luck may have died and our love may be cold, but
A          E          F#m
With you forever I'll stay
     D                          F#m
We're goin' out where the sand's turnin' to gold
   D           A                         D               A
So put on your stockings baby 'cause the night's getting cold
   F#m         A          D         A
And everything dies, baby, that's a fact
          F#m             A        D          A
But maybe everything that dies someday comes back
 
[Interlude]
F#m  A  D  A  x2
 
[Verse 3]
          F#m            A             D          A
Now I been lookin' for a job but it's hard to find
                   F#m            A                      D               A
Down here it's just winners and losers and don't get caught on the wrong side of that line
         F#m              A             D        A
Well, I'm tired of comin' out on this losin' end
               F#m              A                             D         A
So honey, last night I met this guy and I'm gonna do a little favor for him
 
[Chorus]
             F#m         A           D        A
Well, I guess everything dies, baby, that's a fact
          F#m             A        D         A
But maybe everything that dies someday comes back
         F#m     A        D      A
Put your hair up nice and set up pretty
    F#m       A          D      A
And meet me tonight in Atlantic City
    F#m       A          D      A
And meet me tonight in Atlantic City
    F#m       A          D      A
And meet me tonight in Atlantic City
         F#m       A          D      A
Will you meet me tonight in Atlantic City
 
[Outro]
F#m  A  D  A  x6
