Crow, Sheryl - Leaving Las Vegas

G    G/C  G/B  Dsus    D
Life springs eternal
On a gaudy neon street
Not that I care at all
I spent the best part of my losing streak
In an Army Jeep
For what I can't recall
Oh I'm begging my tv set
And I check the odds
And I place my bet
Pour a drink
And pull the blind
And I wonder what I'll find

[Chorus:]
G    G/C  G/B  Dsus    D
Leaving Las Vegas
Lights so bright
Palm sweat blackjack
On a Saturday night
Leaving Las Vegas
Leaving for good
Leaving for good

Used to be I could drive up to Barstow for the night
Find some crossroad trucker to demonstrate his might
But these days it seems nowhere is far enough away
So I'm leaving Las Vegas today

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
Em   Dsus  D
I'm standing in the middle of the desert
Waiting for my ship to come in
But no joker, no jack, no king
Can take this loser hand and make it win

[Chorus]


I quit my job as a dancer at the Lido des Girls
Dealing blackjack until one or two
Such a muddly line between the things you want
And the things you have to do

[Chorus]
