These are Ahead Of The Game chords by Mark Knopfler on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

[Intro]
G

[Verse 1]
     C
It's nothing but the
hits in a room downtown
They're noisy as hell
     Bb
 but nice
Dm
People don't usually
get to play in there
                    C
More than a time or twice
C
You had you a regular spot
They were even advertising
      Bb
 your name
Dm
Better than the usual
 thing you got
Staying just ahead
       Am    C
of the game
             G
Ahead of the game

[Instrument]
G

[Verse 2]
    C
And I can't tell
you one thing new
                      Bb
About playing for the door
Dm
Some of my dreams
 back there too
With the sawdust
        C
on the floor
      C
We're worn out and
 weary, all of us
            Bb
But we know why we came
Dm
Banged up the battered
like this old bus
Staying just ahead
        Am   C
 of the game
             G
Ahead of the game

[Bridge]
F             Dm
 The sky's as big
 as nowhere
C
 Which is where we've been
F               Dm
 Left a dream behind
there somewhere
C              Dm
 You've got to have
a dream

[Instrument]
C Bb Dm C
C Bb Dm Am C
G

[Verse 3]
  C
I gave your buddy a
ride to the train
He was telling me
         Bb
he'd be back
         Dm
It was a red light
shining, love in vain
When we rolled
           C
across the tracks
  C
Barista-bartender
selling beat-up car
Needs a ticket for
            Bb
 a bus or a plane
Dm
Singer-songwriter
header for home
Staying just ahead
        Am   C
 of the game
             G
Ahead of the game

[Outro]
G
