[Verse 1]
F        F  Eb            Ab           Ab Bb
  Advice is cheap you can take it from me
F            F  Eb            Ab         Ab Bb
  It's yours to keep 'cause opinions are free
F      F  Eb              Ab      Ab  Bb
  Nobody knows 'bout the trouble I've seen
F      F    Eb               Ab       F
  Nobody's perfect, mister, nobody's clean
G           G   F           Bb         Bb  C
  It costs too much and takes too long to find out too late
G             G F                Bb           Bb  C
  Some words are not heard 'til after they're spoken
G           G F            Bb         Bb  C
  Your role was protective, your soul was too defective
G           G  F                      Bb     G
  Some people just don't have a heart to be broken
 
[Chorus]
C                   C                    C             C 
  We could have gone all the way to the Great Wall of China
F                      C                    A   Dbmaj7 Db6
  If you'd only had a little more faith in me
C              C                 C          C            F     C      D
  In lieu of diamonds, gold and platinum reminders will still shine bright
C                C        C               C 
  All the king's men, and all the king's horses
        F                    C                Ab/Eb  Dbmaj7 Dbmaj6
  Can't put you together the way you used to be
C                     C               C            C 
  We could have been standing on the Great Wall of China

[Verse 2]
F          F  Eb           Ab       Ab Bb
  You take a piece of whatever you touch
F        F  Eb                   Ab         Ab Bb
  Too many pieces means you're touching too much
F        F   Eb          Ab         Ab  Bb
  You never win if you can't play it straight
F        F  Eb                Ab    Ab F
  You only beat me if you get me to hate
G           G F         Bb          Bb   C
  It must be   so lonely  to think that you have only
G        G F               Bb           Bb C
  Somebody else's life to live if they let you
G          G  F          Bb             Bb  C
  I ain't too  selective, but it don't take no detective
G          G F                        Bb      G
  To find out  how fast your friends will forget you
 
[Chorus]
C                    C                   C             C
  We could have gone all the way to the Great Wall of China
F                      C              Ab   Dbmaj7 Db6
  Now all you're going to be is history
C                  C                        C     C         F  C   D
Help yourself, it's all you can eat at the Empire Diner tonight
C                 C          C                    C
  You coulda had class, you could have been a contender
F                     C              Ab  Dbmaj7 Db6
Charlie, you shoulda looked out for me
C                      C         C               C             F C    D

[Verse 3]
G           G F             Bb           Bb  C
  This was not  your calling, just look how far you've fallen
G           G  F                  Bb         Bb C
  I heard your story, man, you've got to be joking
G             G F              Bb      Bb C
  Keep things in  perspective, this is my true objective
G             G  F                  Bb       G
  Why tear this heart out if it's only been broken?

  In lieu of diamonds, gold and platinum reminders will still shine bright
C                C       C                 C  
  All the king's men and all the king's horses
