[Intro 1]
[G][C][G][C][G][C][Dsus4][G]
[C]Well I see

[Verse 1]
[G]
you [C]in [Dsus4]the morn [G]ing
[C]Putting on your [G]pretty
[C]clothes[Dsus4][G]
[C]And I wat[G]ch you do your make-up
[Dsus4]Like Like[G] they do in a[C]ll those
[G]fashion [C]shows[G]
Then you [Em]turn to me so that [D]I can see
If you [C]put yourself together [Bm]right
Then you [Em]go away
and you're [D]gone all day
But I [C]know you're coming
home [C#dim]to night[A]
[G]An d when you're [D]home,
Darling [C]all you've got to be is [C#dim]you
[A]But [G]when in Rome, [D]do as the [G]Romans do
[C][Dsus4][G][C][G][C][Dsus4]

[Verse 2]
[C][G]
[C]Well it's alr[G]ight if [Dsus4]you're tired[G]
[C]When you[Dsus4]r day is [G]done[C][G]
[C]You can[G] see when you
[C]look at [Dsus4]me,[Gm]
[G]You[C]'re not the onl[G]y one[Dsus4][G]
It's [Em]a cold, cruel world for a [D]working girl
But [C]you can't let them see you [Bm]cry
It's [Em]a fact of life, now man[D] and wife
Work [C]full time to just get [C#dim]by[A]
[G]And [Dsus4]when we're home[D] all
It's [C]gonna be is me an[C#dim]d you
[A]But [G]when in Rome,
[D]do as the [G]Romans do
[C][Dsus4][G][C][G]

[Verse 3]
[F#sus4]
I've done some [F#]strange things I
[Bm]Never thought I'd do befor[F#sus4]e
But if [F#]the strain [Am]brings happiness,
[D]More or less.
More or less.

[Verse 4]
Then I [G]don't [Dsus4]mind masqueradin[G]g
[C]With all tho[G]se other foo[C]ls[G]
[C]I don't min[G]d the games
[Dsus4]I'm playing,[G]
[C]Because I've lea[G]rned the rul[C]es[G]
[Em]And wh[D]en times[Em] are tough,
I've [D]got just enough
If you're [C]standing right by my [Bm]side
Darling [Em]more and more I [D]get hungry for
All the [C]ways you keep me [C#dim]sat isfied
[G]On our own[D] there ain't not[C]hing
That we can't [C#dim]get through
But [Dsus4]when in R[G]ome,
[D]do as the [C]Romans do

[Interlude 1]
[G][F#sus4][F#][Bm][F#sus4][F#]

[Verse 5]
[Am]Then [D]I d[C]on't mind masque[Dsus4]rad
[G]ing [C]with all tho[G]se oth[C]er [G]fools
[C]I don't min[G]d the games
[C]I'm[Dsus4] playing,[G]
[C]Because I've lea[G]rned the rul[C]es
[G]It doesn't matter when we're [Em]home,
all [D]alone
All we've [C]got to be is
[C#dim]me and you[A][G]
On our [D]own there ain't [C]nothing
That we can't [C#dim]get through
But [G]when [D]in Rome,
do as the [G]Romans do
[C][Dsus4]

[Verse 6]
[G][C]
[Dsus4]Swing tha[G]t hammer and br[C]eak[G]
that [C]stone[G][C][G][C]
[G]Push those [C]buttons [Dsus4]and answer[G]
that [C]phone[G][C][G][C]
[G]Coffee in [C]the morning [Dsus4]and martinis[G]
at [C]night[G][C][G][C]
[G]Everybody's [C]working up a [G]big appet[C]ite[G]
[C][G][C][G][D][G][C][G][C][G][C]
[G]Do as[G][G][C][G][C]
