C     G      D     Em     C     G     D     G



              C               G
You might get lucky some days, not a drop of rain


               D                                   Em
And you're too long on the town and you leave your trouble on the train


C                                        G
And then there's only doubt until you're on your feet again


D                  G
There's only up or down


The lucky boys upstairs, with their penthouse views
Making the ladies, making the news
And I'm taking the orders and pouring the booze
There's only up or down


And they say no one likes a big mouth, yeah, but I got one anyway
Big as any fat cat, I say what I wanna say
And I don't care if you listen, I don't care if you walk away
There's only up or down



C                      Em
Shooting little stars, dying to be near


     D                  G
Burn up along the way into the atmosphere


C                      Em
Shooting little stars, dying to be near


C     D
Ooh,  ooh


I told the young bond salesman just the other day
When I was his age, I was sailing away
I sailed the Russian seas, I've seen the Phillipines


        D                       Em
Down to Panama and all the way around


                  C                                       G
Sometimes there's trouble on the ocean, sometimes there's trouble on the shore


            D                                    Em
And there's always someone hoping there won't be trouble anymore


        C                   G
It's an elevator, baby, get off any floor


D                  Em     C                C                G
There's only up or down,  only up or down, only up or down
