Lush Life Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Eb]I us[Db]ed to[C] visit
[Ddim]all the very [C]gay places
[Ddim]Those come what [C]may places
Where one relaxes [Ddim]on the
[Fm]axis of the wheel of l[Gm]ife
[G]To get the feel of [C]life
[Ddim]From jazz an[Db]d cock[Ab]tails.
[C][Db][C]

[Verse 2]
The [C]girls I knew
[Ddim]had sad and sullen gray [C]faces
With distant gay traces
[Fm]That used to be [C]there you could see
[Fm]where they'd been [Bb]washed away
[Abm]By too ma[C]ny through the day
Twelve o'clock [Fm]tales.[Dm][Em][F]
[B]Then you[Em] came along with

[Verse 3]
your siren of [E]song
[Em]To tempt me to madness!
[F#m]I thou[B]ght[Em] for a while that your poignant
smile was tinged with the sad[B]ness
[Dm]Of a great love fo[G]r me[Bb].
[A]Ah

[Verse 4]
yes! [Dm]I was wrong
Again,
I [C]was wrong.[Dm][F][Dm][Ddim][G]
[C]Life is

[Verse 5]
lonely [C]again,
And only [C]last year [B]everything
[Bb]seemed so [B]sure.[Db]
[C]Now life [Db]is awful ag[C]ain,
[Db]A thoughtful of hear[C]ts could only
[Ab]be a [E]bore.[Cb][D]
[Cbm]A week[G] in Par[Bb]is[C][G]

[Verse 6]
will ease [D]the bite [D#dim]of it,
[C#]All I care is to[C#m] smile[E] i[B]n[Abm]
[C]spite [Bb]of it.[G][C]
I'll forget you, [C]I will

[Verse 7]
While yet you [C]are still [G]burning
[B]inside [D]my [A]brain.[Gdim][Edim]
[C]Ro [Fm]mance [Ddim]is mush, [Eaug]Stifling those

[Verse 8]
who [G]strive.
[C]I'll live a l[Cm]ush life in [Bb]some small di[A]ve

[Verse 9]
And [F]there [Fm]I'll be,
[Ddim]while I rot[Eaug]
[A]With the rest [F#m]of tho[A]se[Eb]
[D]whose lives are lon[C]ely, too[G].[C]
