Em7 G Cadd9 G
Well they blew up the chicken man in Philly last night,
Em7 G Cadd9 G
And now they blew up his house too.
Em7 G Cadd9 G
Down on the boardwalk they're gettin' ready for a fight,
Em7 G Cadd9 G
Gonna see what them racket boys can do.
Now there's trouble bustin' in from outta state,
And the DA can't get no relief.
Gonna be a rumble out on the promenade,
And the gamblin' commission's hangin' on by the skin of his teeth.
Chorus:
Em G Cadd9 G
Well now everything dies baby, that's a fact,
Em G D Em
But maybe everything that dies someday comes back.
Em G Cadd9 G
Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty,
Em G Cadd9 G
And meet me tonight in Atlantic City
Well I got a job and tried to put my money away,
But I got debts that no honest man can pay.
So I drew what I had from the central trust,
And I bought us two tickets on that Coast City bus.
Chorus
Bridge:
C Em
Now our luck may have died, and our love may be cold,
D Em
But with you forever I'll stay.
C Em
We're goin' out where the sands turn to gold,
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
So put on your stockings, baby, the nights are gettin' cold.
Em G Cadd9 G
Everything dies baby, that's a fact,
Em G Cadd9 G(ring)
But maybe everything that dies someday comes back.

Now I've been looking for a job, but it's hard to find down here
Em7 G Cadd9 G
Its just winners and losers, and don't get caught on the wrong side of that line
Em7 G Cadd9 G
Well I'm tired of coming out on the losing end,
Em(ring) G
So honey, last night I met this guy and I'm gonna do a little favor for him
Chorus
