[D]Walking down the street in New York [A]City
A [D]sandwich bar at the end of the world at [A]night
[D]I looked up and saw the bare end ass of [A]Scotland
[D]Scrambling to four poles in the [A]sky watch them fly!
[G]But meanwhile we just keep on [D]running [A]
[G]Going to the football every Saturday [D]night [A]
Yeah! [Em]Divine intervention [G]Is out of the question
[D]I go to dance in the [A]flames, yeah
[Em]Divine intervention [G]is out of the question
[D]Life is a gambling [A]game It's a gambling [G]game
[D]Driving down an alley in a rundown part of [A]Hollywood
[D]Saw her neon light up the side of the [A]sign
[D]Through the gloom I asked her, "What's my [A]future?"
Well, [D]she threw up and then broke down and [A]cried tears in her eyes
[G]But I kept moving on to [D]silver head [A]
To [G]play guitar with a brand-new friend of [D]mine [A]
Yeah! [Em]Divine intervention [G]is out of the question
[D]I go to dance in the [A]flames, yeah
[Em]'Cause divine intervention [G]Is out of the question
[D]Life is a gambling [A]game It's a gambling [G]game
Yeah! [Em]Divine intervention [G]is out of the question
[D]I go to dance in the [A]flames, yeah
[Em]'Cause divine intervention [G]Is out of the question
[D]Life is a gambling [A]game
Mmm, [Em]when the walls cave in [G]And the lights go dim And [D]I [A]drag you out again
[Em]Well, dystopian values [G]are too hot to handle [D]And I'm [A]going out in a blaze
[Em]Can we run any faster? [G]It's a total disaster [D]I, I, I'm [A]going down in the flames
Yeah, [Em]when they try to arrest you [G]
I'll come to your rescue [D]Life [A]is a gambling game [D]
