E B E

So this is where he came to hide

E B E

When he ran from you

E

In a private detective overcoat

F#m

And dirty dead men's shoes

E B E

The pretty things of Knightsbridge

E B E

Lying for of Minister of State

E

Are a far cry from the nod and wink

F#m

Here at Traitors' Gate

G#m C#m

'Cause the high heel he used to be has been ground down

F#sus4

And he listens for the footsteps

E/B B7

That would follow him around

E F#m G#m E

To murder - my love - is a crime

F#m G#m A F#/A# Bsus4 G#/B# C#m A E

But will you still love - a man out of time

E B E

There's a tupenny ha'ppenny millionaire

E B E

Looking for a fourpenny one

E

With a tight grip on the short hairs

F#m

Of the public imagination

E B E

But for his private wife and kids somehow

E B E

Real life becomes a rumour

E

Days of Dutch courage, just three French letters

F#m

And a German sense of humor

G#m C#m

He's got a mind like a sewer and a heart like a fridge

F#sus4

He stands to be insulted

E/B B7

And he pays for the privilege

E F#m G#m E

To murder - my love - is a crime

F#m G#m A F#/A# Bsus4 G#/B# C#m A E

But will you still love - a man out of time

E B E

The biggest wheels of industry

E B E

Retire sharp and short

E

And after the dinner overtures

F#m

Are nothing but an afterthought

E B E

Somebody's creeping in the kitchen

E B E

There's a reputation to be made

E

Whose nerves are always on the knife's edge

F#m

And who's up late polishing the blade

G#m C#m

Love is always scarpering or cowering or fawning

F#sus4

You drink yourself insensitive

E/B B7

And hate yourself in the morning

E F#m G#m E

To murder - my love - is a crime

F#m G#m A F#/A# Bsus4 G#/B# C#m A E

But will you still love - a man out of time
