I hear the seven deadly sins and the terrible twins came to call on you 
D                          A7          D              G         A7 
  The bigger they are baby,    the harder they fall on you 
                        D               G       A7                   
D                                        G                A 
And you were always the same,  you persevere  on the same old pleasure 
ground

G                       A7                  D 
   Oh and it never rains      around here,                   it just 
comes pouring down 
 
G Asus4  F#m Bm Bm/A   Gmaj7 A   D 
 
 
You had no more volunteers, so you got profiteers for to help you out 
Well with friends like that babe, good friends you had to do without, 
And now they've taken the chains and the gears from off the old 
merry-go-round, 
It never rains around here, it just comes pouring down. 
 
Now your new Romeo, he was just a gigolo, when he let you down, 
See the faster the are babe, the faster they get out of town 
Leaving make up stains and the tears of a clown, 
And it never rains around here, it just come pouring down. 
 
G   A7                     Em7           A7   
Em                                                                         
G D 
Oh you were just a rollercoaster memory, I don't know why I was even 
passing through, 
   A7                      Em7        A7      Dm   G6          
A7                         Em7            A     DG 
I saw you make a date with destiny,        when he came around here 
asking after you 
 
In the shadow of the Wheel of Fortune you're busy trying to clear your 
name, 
You say, "I may be guilty yeah, that may be true, but I'd be lying if I 
said I was to blame" 
 
See we could have been major contenders, we never got no money no breaks 
You got a list of all the major offenders, you got a list of all their 
major mistakes. 
 
And he's just a-standing in the shadows and you smile that come-on smile 
Oh and I can still hear you say as clear as the day, "I'd like to make 
it worth your while." 
 
D  A               
D                                                                                    
Bm                         G 
  Ah but it's a sad reminder when your organ grinder has to come to you 
for the rent 
D                                                                               
A 
  And all you've got to give him is the use of your side-show tent 
                        D                      G  
A7                                  F#m/A      G       Bm 
Yes and that's all that remains     of the years spent doing the rounds 
F#m              G                  A      G           
A7                         D 
And it never rains around here,    well it just come pouring down. 
 
         A7                                  Em7   A7         Em7  
A                           Em7               A            G D 
Now you know what they say about beggars,                you can't 
complain about the rules, 
         A7                                  Em7   A7         Bm  G6   
A7                             Em                      A 
Now you know what they say about beggars,                you know who's 
the first to blame his tools
