F C
Remember Genie,
G Dm
From the ca-sino?

She's still a-waiting,

They're only lonely for,

The life that they led,
F
With their old friends.

Am G Dm7
Where,
Am G Dm7
Lies your heart?
Am G Dm7
It's not there in the buckskin baby.
Am G Dm7
It's not there in the gin,
Am G Dm7
That makes you laugh long and loud.
Am G Dm7
You're a coward, James;
Am G Dm7
You're running a-way from humanity.
Am G Dm7
You're running out on reality.
E7
It won't be funny,
When they rat-a-tat-tat you down.
