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    [Chorus:]  Don't turn away  Dry your eyes, dry your eyes  Don't be afraid  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  And 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 loved  You've shaked 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    [Chorus]    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    [Chorus x2]    these lyrics are submitted by Natasha
