[Verse 1]
You [G]tell me this town ain't got no heart
[F][C]
[Dm](well, [C]well, [Dm]well, you can [C]never [Dm]tell)
The [G]sunny side of the street is dark
[F][C]
[Dm](well, [C]well, [Dm]well,
you can [C]never [Dm]tell)[C]

[Pre-chorus 1]
[F]Maybe that's cause it's midnight,
in the [Em]dark of the moon besides
[F]Maybe the dark is from your eyes
(maybe the dark is from your eyes)
[Em]Maybe the dark is from your eyes
(maybe the dark is from your eyes)
[Dm]Maybe the dark is from your eyes
(maybe the dark is from your eyes)
You [G]know you got such dark eyes!

[Chorus 1]
[C]Nothin' shakin' on shakedown street,
used to be the heart of town
Don't [C]tell me this town ain't got no heart,
you just gotta poke [A]around

You [G]think you've seen this town clear through

[G]Nothin' here that could int'rest you
[F][C]
[Dm](well, [C]well, [Dm]well,
you can [C]never [Dm]tell)[C]

[Pre-chorus 2]
[F]It's not because you missed out
on the [Em]thing that we had to start
[F]Maybe you had too much too fast
(maybe you had too much too fast)
[Em]Maybe you had too much too fast
(maybe you had too much too fast)
[Dm]Maybe you had too much too fast
(maybe you had too much too fast)
Or [G]just over played your part

[Chorus 2]
[C]Nothin' shakin' on shakedown street,
used to be the heart of town
Don't [C]tell me this town ain't got no heart,
you just gotta poke [A]around

[Verse 3]
[G]Since I'm passing your way today
[F][C]
[Dm](well, [C]well, [Dm]well, you can [C]never [Dm]tell)
I [G]just stopped in 'cause I want to say
[F][C]
[Dm](well, [C]well, [Dm]well,
you can [C]never [Dm]tell)[C]

[Pre-chorus 3]
[F]I recall your darkness
when it [Em]crackled like a thundercloud
Don't [F]tell me this town ain't got no heart
(don't tell me this town ain't got no heart)
Don't [Em]tell me this town ain't got no heart
(don't tell me this town ain't got no heart)
Don't [Dm]tell me this town ain't got no heart
(don't tell me this town ain't got no heart)
When [G]I can hear it beat out loud!

[Chorus 3]
[C]Nothin' shakin' on shakedown street,
used to be the heart of town
Don't [C]tell me this town ain't got no heart,
you just gotta poke around
[Repeat and fade]
