g
First you lose the rhyming
                  c   
then you lose the timing
                  d
Then you lose the money
                  g
then you lose the friends

And you try for one more song
                   c
but the words don't come and the chords are wrong
       d                               g
Whisky bottle won't last long before it ends

em                         d
I met him in a bar room in Chicago
      em                              a/d
I was writing what became of names we knew
c                                     g
About the ones who'd let their shooting star go out of sight
    a             a7                d
The one-hit wonder boys who never grew
       a                   a7               d
And I asked him, Sir, what happened then to you
    d7
He said;
Chorus

He told me, It's an old and tired story
You'll need a way to make it sound brand-new
So tell 'em that I had my share of glory once all right
But I had somebody strong to see me through
And she told me all the things I shouldn't do
she said;
Chorus

But I did all a young man does with money
With all those young girls coming on so strong
And that's how come I lost my little honey to the road
'Cause she went off and wrote it in a song

And now you see her up there on the T.V.
She's a superstar and everybody knows
She sings a broken heart just like it should be sung each night
And I never miss a second of her shows
And I know the way the chorus always goes

Final chorus
