We be	t on our lives and we bet on the h	orses

	F
In that up	stairs apartment

	C
On Orland	o and 4th

	G	Am	C/G
And the ren	t was due and the rent man was	knocking

	F
Like a Chi	nese proverb

	C/G	C/G	C/G	G	F
We were alwa	ys s	earc	hing

	C	C/E
	Nightlife's a no-win but nobody	noticed

	F
How we kille	d off the bottles

	C
Looking good	on the surface

	G	Am7
The do	g days barked and the house cat g	ot old

	C
We were Bonnie	and Clyde

	Fmaj7	G	C	F/C	C
In the em	peror's new	clothe	s

	F
And the tear	s never came

	F/A	G/B
They jus	t st	ayed in our eyes

	F/C	C	C/B
We refus	ed to admit that we wore this dis	guise

	F
Every inc	h of us growing

	Bb6
Like Pi	nocchio's nose

	A+	A	Dm	C/E	F	G	C	F/C	C
As we walk	ed around in the	emperor's ne	w c	loth	es

We flew by our wits and by the seat of our pants

In the state of illusion

In the nation of chance

And the repo was hauling the wreck we'd been driving

As the dashboard Madonna

Smiled back at us kindly

We cheated the system never batting an eyelid

Seeing only the good

Through the holes in our shoes

And our halos were rusty but we wore them proudly

We were two little gods

In the emperor's new clothes

	F
And the tear	s never came

	F/A	G/B
They jus	t st	ayed in our eyes

	F/C	C	C/B
We refus	ed to admit that we wore this dis	guise

	F
Every inc	h of us growing
