E Lisa likes brandy and the way it hits her lips
 She's a rock 'n' roll survivor with pendulum hips
AE She's got deep brown eyes, that've seen it all
 The bar men used to call her "Little Lisa, Looney Tunes"
AE She went down on almost anyone
F#mE From the hard time living 'til the Chelsea days
AB From when her hair was sweet blonde 'til the day it turned gray, she said :
EA L.I.F.E G.O.E.S O.N.
BA You've got more than money and sense, my friend
EABA You've got heart and you go in your own way
EA L.I.F.E G.O.E.S O.N.
BA What you don't have now will come back again
EABA You've got heart and you go in your own way
EABA (x2) 
E Some people wear their history like a map on their face
And Joey was an artist just living out of case
AE But his best word was his letters home
E His standard works of fiction about imaginary success
The chorus girls in neon were his closest things to friends
AE But to a writer, the truth is no big deal
F#mE From the hard time living to the sleepless nights
AB And the black and blue body from the weekend fights. he'd say
EA L.I.F.E G.O.E.S O.N.
BA You've got more than money and sense, my friend
EABA You've got heart and you go in your own way
EA L.I.F.E G.O.E.S O.N.
BA What you don't have now will come back again
EABA You've got heart and you go in your own way
AEC#mB On my last night on earth, I won't look to the sky
EAC#mB Just breathe in the air and blink in the light
AEC#mB On my last night on earth, I'll pay a high price
EAC#mB To have no regrets and be done with my life
EA L.I.F.E G.O.E.S O.N.
BA You've got more than money and sense, my friend
EABA You've got heart and you go in your own way
EA L.I.F.E G.O.E.S O.N.
BA What you don't have now will come back again
EABA You've got heart and you go in your own way
