Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G][C#dim][Cm][Bm][E][Bm][C][C#dim][Bm][Ebm]
I [G]used 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]From [D]jazz and [G]cock[Bb]tails
[C#dim][C][Ebdim]
[G]The girls

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

[Verse 3]
[F#]Then you came [Bm]along
with your [F#]siren song
[Daug]To tempt [Bm]me to mad[F#]ness
[Daug]I thought for a wh[Bm]ile that
[F#]your poignant [Daug]smile
[Bm]Was tinged with the sadness
[F#]Of a[Am] great love for [F]me
Ah, [E]yes, [Ddim]I was w[Am]rong[Gm][Bb][E][A]
[Am]Again, [F#]I was[Bm] wro[D]ng[Dsus4]
[G][D]

[Verse 4]
[Daug][B][Bm]
[G]Life is [Eb]lonely aga[G]in
[Ab]And only last [G]year everything
[F#]seemed so [Bb]sure[F#][Ab]
[G]Now life [Bm]is aw[Ab] ful[F] aga[G]in
A [Bb]trough full [Ab]of hearts
[G]could only be a b[F#]ore[B][F#]
[A]A wee[D]k in Par[Am]is wil[D]l ease the[Bb] bite of [Bbm]it
[Ab]All I ca[G]re is to[Abm] smile[F#]
[F]in spite [Ebm]of it[D][Daug]
[G]I'll for[Eb]get you, I w[G]ill

[Verse 5]
While yet [Ebm]you ar[G]e still
Burning in[Bm]side [E]my, side my brain
Ro[Am]mance is mush
[C]Stifling tho[G]se who[D] strive[Ebdim][Cdim]
[Bm]I'll live [G]a lush life in some
[Bm]small [E]dive
[Am]And there I'll [F]be
While [G]I r[C]ot with the r[D]est[Ebdim]
[Bm]Of t[Bb]hose w[Daug]hose liv[F#]es[C#dim]
[C#m]are lo[D]nely to[Daug]o[D][G]
