        C#m
Oh, the wind whistles down
     A
The cold dark street tonight
         E                     G#m
And the people they were dancing to the music vibe
        C#m
And the boys chase the girls with the curls in their hair
            A
While the shy tormented youth sit way over there
         E
And the songs they get louder
                       G#m
Each one better than before

Chorus:
                       C#m
And you're singing the songs,
thinking this is the life
                        A
And you wake up in the morning
and your head feels twice the size
                      E
Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?
                        G#m
Where you gonna sleep tonight
                        C#m
And you're singing the songs,
thinking this is the life
                        A
And you wake up in the morning
and your head feels twice the size
                      E
Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?
                        G#m
Where you gonna sleep tonight
                        C#m
Where you gonna sleep tonight

So you're heading down the road in your taxi for four
And you're waiting outside Jimmy's front door
But nobody's in, and nobody's home till four
So you're sitting there with nothing to do
Talking about Robert Riger and his motley crew
And where you gonna go and where you gonna sleep tonight

Chorus

And you're singing the songs
Thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning
And your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go, where you gonna go
Where you gonna sleep tonight?
And you're singing the songs
Thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning
And your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go, where you gonna go
Where you gonna sleep tonight?
