Belle of the Boulevard (Acoustic)

Down in a local bar out on the Boulevard The sound of an old guitar Is saving you from sinking It's a long way down, it's a long way Back like you never broke, you tell a dirty joke He touches your leg and thinks he's getting close For now you let him Just this once, just for now, and just like that it's over Don't turn away, dry your eyes, dry your eyes Don't be afraid, but keep it all inside, all inside When you fall apart, dry your eyes, dry your eyes Life is always hard for the Belle of the Boulevard In all your silver rings, in all your silken things That song you softly sing Is keeping you from breaking It's a long way down, it's a long way Back here you never lost, you shake the shivers off You take a drink to get your courage up Can you believe it? Just this once, just for now, and just like that it's over Don't turn away, dry your eyes, dry your eyes Don't be afraid, oh keep it all inside, all inside When you fall apart, dry your eyes, dry your eyes Life is always hard for the Belle of the Boulevard Please hold on, it's alright Please hold on, it's alright Please hold on Down in a local bar out on the boulevard The sound of an old guitar Is saving you Don't turn away, dry your eyes, dry your eyes Don't be afraid, but keep it all inside, all inside When you fall apart, dry your eyes, dry your eyes Life is always hard, let me dry your eyes, dry your eyes Don't turn turn away Let me dry your eyes, dry your eyes Don't be afraid, but keep it all inside, all inside When you fall apart, let me dry your eyes, dry your eyes Life is always hard for the Belle of the Boulevard
