[G][Fsus4][F][Eb][G][F][G][F]
[G][Esus4][G][Gb][Fsus4]
[F]

[Verse 1]
I [G]used to vis[F]it all the very gay [Bdim]places
[G]Those come what may[Esus4] places
[G]
Where one relaxes [Gb]on the ax
[Ebm]is of the [Dm]wheel of life
[Ebm]To get the fe[Em]el of life
[Fsus4]From jazz and [D]cockt[G]ails.[Gaug][Eb]
[Fsus4]

[Verse 2]
[Eb]The girl[G]s I knew had sad
and sullen [Em]gray faces[G]
With distant [Em]gay traces
[F]That used to [Bdim]be there you cou[Bb]ld see where
[Eb]they'd been [Dm]washed away[Ddim]
[Bdim]By too many [Gaug]through the [Cm]day
[F#aug]Twelve o'clock tales.[G]
[F][Bdim][Edim]

[Verse 3]
[F#aug]Then you [F#]came alon[Bm]g
with your [F#]siren of song
[F#aug]To tempt me [Bm]to mad ness![Cdim][C#m]
[F#aug]I thought f[Bm]or a while tha[A]t your poig[G]nant smile

[F#aug][Daug]

[Verse 5]
[Bb]
[G]Life is [Fsus4]lonely aga[G]in,
And only [G]last year everything
[F#]seemed [F]so sure.
[D]Now[G] life is [Em]awfu[Fsus4]l again,[Gaug]
[G][Asus4]
[A]A tho[F#]ughtful of [G]hearts could only
be [F#]a bor[B]e.[A][Asus4]
A week in Paris [Asus4]will ease [A]the bite [Bbm]of it,[Eb]
[Ab]All I ca[G]re is to[Gaug] smile in [Ab]spite [D]of it.[Gbaug]
[G]I'll

[Verse 6]
[Fsus4]for get you, [Eb]I will[G]
[F#]While yet you [G]are still burning [F#aug]inside
my [F]brain.[A][Eaug]
[Am]Romance is [F]mush,
[Gaug]Stifling those who [D]strive.[F#aug][D]
[G]I'll live a [F]lush life [G]in [Bm]some small div[Eaug]e
[G]And there [Asus4]I'll be,[Am][G]
while I rot
[Gaug]With the rest of[Ab] those w[Bb]hose[A]
[Ab]lives [E]are [A]lon[Bb]ely, too[Bb]..
