Lush Life Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
I [G]used [C]to [Dm]visit all the very [C]gay places,
those come -what -may places where one
relaxes [Dm]on the axi[Fm]s of t[Gm]he wheel of life t[C]o get the
feel of [Dbdim]life from[Bbm] jazz [Gdim]and[Ebm][Ddim][G][Gsus4]
[C]The girls I knew had sad[Bb]
and sullen grey faces
[C]Wit[Gm]h dis[C]tinguished races
[Bb]that used to [G]be there
You [C]could see where they'd
been washed [Gm]away[C]
By too [Fm]many [C]through [Gdim]the day
[Caug][Eaug][G]
[B]Then you [Em]came along with your siren song
[Em]To t[C]empt me to[F#m] madness
[Cdim]I thought [C]for a while
that your poignant smile
Was tinged [C]with the sadness
of a great [G]love [Eaug]for me[G]
[A]Ah yes, I [Dm]was wrong[C]
[D]Again, [C]I was wro[Eb]ng
[C]Life is [Bb]lonely [C]again
And [A]only [Bb]last [Eb]year[A],[C]
everything [Fm]seemed [Bb]so s[Eb]ure[Db]
Now [C]life is [Db]awful [C]again
A trough [Bb]full of [C]arms could
only be a [B]door[E][Am]
[G]A week in
[Dm]Par [Ddim]is will[Dm]
[G]eat the bit[Ebm]e of it
[Adim]All I ca[C#]re is [B]to sm[F#]ile[B]
in [Bb]spite of [C]it[Bdim][C]
I'll forget you, I [C]will, while [Eb]yet,
you are [C]still burning in[B]side [Bb]my br[A]ain.[Bm][A]
Ro[Fm]mance is [Bb]mush,
stifling [C]those [Eaug]who strive.[C][G][C]
[C]I'll live a lush [G]life [F]in
[G]some [Em]small[A] dime
[Aaug]An d the[Fm]re I'll be w[C]hile[Bb]
I [Eaug]rot with the res[Gsus4]t
[G]Those moon[C]light[Bb]s are [Bbaug]lonely to[Bm]o[Ddim]
