Verse:

C          Am 
The cowboy kills the rock star 
C                Am
And Friday night?s gone too far 
C             Am
The dim light hides the years 
   F             G
On all the faded girls 
C                 Am
Forgotten but not gone 
C                    Am
You drink it off your mind 
C                  Am
You talk about the world 
          F                    G
Like it?s someplace that you?ve been 

Bridge:
Am
You see you?d love to run home 
But you know you ain?t got one 

Fmaj7
And you?re livin? in a world 
                                  G    F
That you?re best forgotten around here 

Chorus:
Am          G        F
Broadway is dark tonight 
Am           G               F       C
A little bit weaker than you used to be 
Am          G        F
Broadway is dark tonight 
        Am        G
See the young man sitting 
       F         C
In the old man?s bar 
Dm              F        C    Am  C  Am
Waiting for his turn to die
