By Elvis Costello

From the album: Imperial Bedroom

Gm = XX0333

Edim = XX2323

Eb = XX1343

Db = XX3121

Dbm = XX2120

INTRO:

Cm Bb Cm Bb

Bb Cm

All the bedroom lights go out

Bb

As the neighbourhood gets quiet

Fm Cm

Everything in heaven and earth is almost right

Cm Bb

But there's a wife whos wondering where her husband could be tonight

Fm Cm

And when the phone rang only once she took a dreadful fright

Cm Bb

Little things just seem to undermine her confidence in him

Fm Cm

He was late this time last week

Cm Bb

Who can she turn to when the chance of coincidence is slim

Fm G+ G9 G

'Cause the baby isn't old enought to speak

G Edim Eb

There's been a long honeymoon

Bb Edim Eb Gm

She thought too late and spoke too soon

Ab Gm

There's no money back guarantee on future happiness

Edim Eb

There's been a long honeymoon

Db Dbm B

If he's out on a date then her life's in ruins

Bm F# Bm A G#m Gm

She never thought her love could ever be as strong as this

Bb Cm

All the movies and the papers

Bb

Feature the murders of lonely women

Fm Cm

If he isn't in by ten she'll call up her best friend

Cm

Why doesn't he come home

Bb

Why does her friends phone keep on ringing

Fm G+ (?)

. . . . Maybe she should just pretend

(chorus)
