WHILE THE CITY SLEEPS Simmons/Weissman [Rhy. Fig 1] [Rhy. Fig 2] (3x) What goes on behind closed doors Private wounds, open sores You¥re your own worst enemy And cheap thrills bring you to your knees It¥s thumbs down for someone like you Easy come, easy go [Rhy. Fig 3]

Burn your bridges, take what you can get

Go for the throat because you paid your debt Livin¥ well is the best revenge So give ¥em hell [Rhy. Fig 1] (4x) While the city sleeps Better run for your life Take your troubles to the night While the city sleeps Beggars, thieves and losers There¥s no relief [Rhy. Fig 2] For better or for worse you¥ve bought and sold They love you while you¥re hot And leave you when you¥re cold

[Riff 1]

[Rhy. Fig 3 w/ Riff 2]

Burn your bridges, take what you can get

Go for the throat because you paid your debt Livin¥ well is the best revenge So give ¥em hell [Rhy. Fig 1] While the city sleeps Better run for your life Take your troubles to the night While the city sleeps Beggars, thieves and losers There¥s no relief

[Rhy. Fig 4 w/ Riff 3]

[Solo over Rhy. Fig 1]

[Rhy. Fig 3 w/ Riff 4]

Burn your bridges, take what you can get

Go for the throat because you paid your debt Livin¥ well is the best revenge So give ¥em hell

[Rhy. Fig 1 w/ Riff 5]

While the city sleeps It¥s all there in black and white While the city sleeps Through the eye of the needle Gotta thread your life

[Rhy. Fig 4 w/ Riff 6]
