Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
Well, [Em]they blew up [G]the chicken man
in [C]Philly last [G]night
Now [Em]they blew [G]up his house, [C]too[G]
Down on [Em]the boardwalk
[G]they're gettin' [C]ready for a [G]fight
[Em]Gonna see what [G]them
racket boys can [C]do[G]

[Verse 2]
Now [Em]there's trouble [G]busin' in
[C]from out[G]ta state
And [Em]the DA c[G]an't get no [C]re l[G]ief
Gonna be [Em]a rumbl[G]e out on the[C] prome[G]nade
And the [Em]gamblin' com[G]mission's hangin' on
by [C]the skin of its [D]teeth

[Chorus 1]
Well, [Em]now everyt[G]hing dies, baby,
[C]that's a [G]fact
Maybe [Em]everything [G]that dies
some[D]day comes [Em]back
Put your makeup [G]on, fix your [C]hair up [G]pretty
And [Em]meet me [G]tonight in At[C]lantic [G]City

[Interlude 1]

[Verse 3]
Well, [Em]I got a jo[G]b and tried to
put [C]my money [G]away
But I [Em]got debts [G]that no honest
[C]man can[G] pay
So [Em]I drew what I h[G]ad from the [C]Centra[G]l Trust
And [Em]I bought us tw[G]o tickets
on [D]that Coast City bus

[Chorus 2]
Now, ba[Em]by, every[G]thing dies, baby,
[C]that's a [G]fact
Maybe [Em]everything [G]that dies
some[D]day comes [Em]back
Put your [Em]makeup [G]on, fix your [C]hair up [G]pretty
And [Em]meet me [G]tonight in At[C]lantic [G]City

[Bridge 1]
Now [C]our luck may have died and
[Em]love may be cold
[C]But with you [D]forever I'll [Em]stay
We're [C]goin' out where the sands
[Em]turnin' to gold now
[C]Put on you[G]r stockings, baby,
[C]'cause the nights get[G]ting cold and
[C]Everyt[G]hing dies, baby,
[C]that's a fac[G]t
But maybe [C]everything [G]that dies
some[D]day comes [C]back

[Interlude 3]
[Em][G][C][G]
[Em][G][C][G]

[Verse 4]
Now I've [Em]been lookin' [G]for a job
but it's [C]hard to [G]find
Down here it's [Em]just winners and [G]losers
And don't get [C]caught
on the wrong [G]side of that line
Well [Em]I'm tired of [G]comin' out
on this [C]losin' [G]end
So, honey, last [Em]night I met this [G]guy
And I'm gonna do a [C]little favor [G]for him

[Chorus 3]
Well I [Em]guess every[G]thing dies, baby,
[C]that's a [G]fact
Maybe [Em]everything [G]that dies
some[D]day comes [Em]back
Fix [Em]your hair [G]up nice,
make your[C]self look [G]pretty
And [Em]meet me [G]tonight in At[C]lantic [G]City
And [Em]meet me [G]tonight in At[C]lantic [G]City
And [Em]meet me [G]tonight in At[C]lantic [G]City
And [Em]meet me [G]tonight in At[C]lantic [G]City
