Kid About It

By Elvis Costello

From the album: Imperial Bedroom

NOTE: this song is in 3/4 time

G F#m B

He saw no tears in her eyes

Em

Say you wouldn't kid about it

G F#m

She's telling all of those lies

B Em

She swore she'd never told before

But I doubt it

C

So he bit his tongue

Bm Am

And tried hard to capture his breath

C

When she said I waited all my life

For just a little death

D G F#m

Say you wouldn't kid about it

B Em

Say you wouldn't kid about it

A G F#m

Say you wouldn't kid about it

B Em Eb7 (XX1323)

Say you wouldn't kid about it

C Em

Sometimes he takes himself so seriously

C Em

She makes her movements mysteriously

F Dm Eb7

Slow fast or furiously

C

It's a big responsibility

Em

With a face full of mixed ability

C

Big dreams of elegance

Em F C

Singing "The Leaving of Liverpool"

D D9 (XX1232)

And turning into Americans

D G

Say you wouldn't kid about it

G F#m B

So what if this is a man's world

Em

I want to be a kid again about it

G F#m

Give me back my sadness

B Em

I couldn't hide it even if I tried girl

C

We fight so frail

Bm Am

Making love tooth and nail

C/D

You gave me the kiss of my life

D

I might even live to tell the tale

(chorus)
