[Intro]
| D             | D             | G             | G             |
| A             | A             | D             | D*            |
 
[Verse 1]
                  D    D                         G          G
Everybody's gone away,   said they're moving to LA,
                           A      A                     D        D*
there's not a soul I know around,   everybody's leaving town.
                                    D           D
Some caught a freight some caught a plane,
                            G           G
find the sunshine leave the rain;
                                 A            A
they say this town'll waste your time,
                                    D            D
must be? right? cause? it's wasting mine.
 
[Chorus]
                     Em          A
Some got to win some got to lose.
                            D        A
Good time Charlie's got the blues.
                            D             D
Good time Charlie's got the blues.
 
[Interlude]
| D             | D             | G             | G             |
| A             | A             | D             | D*            |
 
[Verse 2]
                  D       D                       G            G
My heart keeps telling me   there ain't no kid at thirty-three,
                              A      A
you play around you lose your wife,
                                D        D*
you play too long you lose your life.
                       D         D
I got my pills to ease the pain,
                           G           G
can't find a thing to ease the rain;
                           A    A                         D         D
I'd like to try and settle down   but everybody's leaving town.
 
[End-Chorus]
                     Em          A
Some got to win some got to lose.
                            D        A
Good time Charlie's got the blues.
                            D             D
Good time Charlie's got the blues.
 
[Outro]
| G             | G             | A             | A             |
| D             | A             | D*            ||
