[Em6/9] 022022 The streets are wet, the x21213 lights have yet
[Em6/9] to shed their darkened luster on the scene.
[Em6/9] My skirt's too short, my tights have run,
[Em6/9] these new heels are killing me.
[Em6/9] My second pack of cigarettes, it's a slow night, but there's time yet.
[Em6/9] Here comes john from his other life, he may be driving to his wife.
[Em6/9] But he´ll slow down, take a look, I've learned to read them just like books.
[Em6/9] It's already half past ten, but they'll be back again.
[Em6/9] Head lights in the rainy street, I check, make sure it's not the heat.
[Em6/9] I wink, I smile, I wave my hand. He stops, he seems to understand
a [Em6/9] small transaction we must make, I tell him that my heart will break if he's
[Em6/9] not a generous man, I step into his van.
[Em6/9] They say the first's the hardest trick, and after that it's
just a matter of logic.
[Em6/9] They have the money I have the time, being pretty's my only crime.
[Em6/9] You ask what future do I see, I say it's really up to me
[Em6/9] I don't need forgiving, I'm just making a living.
Chorus
Don't judge me, you could be [Em6/9] me in another life,
in 022032 another set of circumstances.
Don't judge me, one more night ,
I'll just have x2100x to take my chances,
and tomorrow we'll see.

A x53453 friend of mine he wound up dead,
his xx0x47 dress was xx0x46 stained the xx0x35 colour xx0x33 red.
No xxxx22 next of xxxx02 kin, no xxx3x2 fixed xxx0x2 abode,
[/7] xx345x another xx343x victim [/7] xx123x on this xx121x road.
The [Em6/9] police just carted him away, but x02013 someone took his place next day.
[Em6/9] Home by Thanksgiving, but not with the living.
Chorus
Don't judge me, you could be [Em6/9] me in another life,
in 022032 another set of circumstances.
Don't judge me, one more night ,
I'll just have x2100x to take my chances,
And no it's just not in my plan for
someone to [(b5)] 2x110x care who I [B7aug ] .
(Here Sting starts playing 1/2 step up [Fm6/9], but I don´t...sue me)
[Em6/9] I walk in the streets for money,
it's the [Em6/9] business of love, hey honey, come on!
[Em6/9] Don't leave me lonely, don't leave me sad,
[Em6/9] I'll be the sweetest five minutes you'll ever have.
Chorus
Don't judge me, you could be [Em6/9] me in another life,
in 022032 another set of circumstances.
Don't judge me, one more night ,
I'll just have x2100x to take my chances,
and tomorrow we'll see.
