[Verse 1]
[G][C#dim][Cm][Bm][E][Bm][Em][C#dim]
[Bm][Ebm]
[D]I u[G]sed to visit all the very gay places
[D]Those come- what- [G]may places
[D]Where one relaxes on [Cm]the axis
of the [Bb]wheel of life
[F]To get the fee[Bb]l of life[Am]
[D]From jazz and [G]cocktails
[Bb]

[Verse 2]
[F#][C][Ebdim]
[G]The girls I knew had sad
[C]and sullen [G]gray faces
[D]With distin[G]guish traces
That [D]used to be [Am]there
You could [G]see where they'd
[F]been washed away
By too many [Bb]through the day
[C]Twelve [D]o'clock [G]tales[C#m]
[F#]Then

[Verse 3]
[Bm]you came along with
[F#]your siren song
[Daug]To tempt [Bm]me to madness
[F#]I th[Daug]ought for awhile[Bm]
that your [F#]poignant smile
[Daug]Was tinged w[Bm]ith the sadness[F#]
[Am]Of a great love for [F]me
[E]Ah yes, [Abdim]I was wro[Am]ng[Gm][E][A]
[Am]Again, [F#]I was[Bm] wro[D]ng[Dsus4][D][Daug][B][Bm]
[G]Life [D]is lonely

[Verse 4]
[Eb]agai[G]n
[D]And only [Ab]last [G]year
Everything [F#]seemed so [Bb]sure[F#][Ab]
[G]Now life [Bm]is aw[Bb] ful[F] aga[D]in
[G]A tro[Bb]ugh full of [G]hearts
could only be [Daug]a bore[B][F#]
[A]A wee[D]k in

[Verse 5]
[Am]Paris [D]could ease
[Bb]the bite [Bbm]of it[E]
[Ab]All [G]I care i[Abm]s to smi[F#]le
[F]in spite [E]of it[D][Daug]
[G]I'll forget [Eb]you, I

[Verse 6]
[G]will
[Bm]While yet [Ebm]you ar[G]e still
Burn[Bm]ing inside [E]my brain
Ro[Am]mance [C]is mush
Stifling [G]those [D]who strive
[Ebdim]So I'll l[Cdim]ive a[Bm][G]
lush life in [Bm]some small [E]dive
And [Am]there I'll [F]be,
while I [G]rot [C]wit[G]h the res[Ebdim]t
[Bm]Of t[Daug]hose whose liv[G]es are[C#m]
[D]lon[Daug]ely too
[G][Em][G]
