New Lace Sleeves

Words & Music by: Elvis Costello

From the album: TRUST

C

Bad lovers face to face in the morning

Am

Shy apologies and polite regrets

F

Slow dances that left no warning of

Dm

Outraged glances and indiscreet yawning

F G C

Good manners and bad breath get you nowhere

C Am

Even presidents have newspaper lovers

F Fm

Ministers go crawling under covers

C Am

She's no angel

C F

He's no saint

C Am F

They're all covered up with white washed grease paint

(alt: white washed newsprint)

G

And you say...

CHORUS:

C F G Am

The teacher never told you anything but white lies

Bb C/Bb

But you never see the lies

F/A Fm/Ab

And you believe

Bb/Ab C/G

Oh you know you have been captured

F Am/E

You feel so civilized

D F C

And you look so pretty in your new lace sleeves

C

The salty lips of the socialite sisters

Am

With their continental fingers that have

F

never seen working blisters

Dm

Oh I know they've got their problems

F G

I wish I was one of them

C Am

They say daddy's coming home soon

F Fm

With his sergeant stripes and his Empire mug and spoon

C Am

No more fast buck

C F

And when are they gonna learn their lesson

C Am F G

When are they gonna stop all of these victory processions

And you say...

(Chorus)

C Bb

look so pretty in your new lace sleeves
