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
