Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D#][Em][D#][Em]
[C]He met her

[Verse 1]
[D]
in a [Em]French cafe
[C]She slipped in sid[D]eways
[Em]like [C]a cat
[D]Sidelong glances [Em]what a wary
little [C]stray
She [D]sticks in his [G]mind like that
Saying, "avez-vous une
une al[Em]lumette?"
With her [Asus4]lips wrapped
around [Am]a cigar[C]ette
Yvette in [D]English saying
[Em]"Please [C]have this
Little [D]bit of [D#]instant [Em]bliss"[D#][Em]
[C]He's struggling wit[D]h a for
[Em]eign [C]tongue
Reaching for [D]words and draw[Em]ing blanks
[C]A loud mou[D]th is stricken dea[Em]f and dumb
[C]In a bis[D]tro on the lef[G]t ban[Gm]k[G]
"If I were a painter," Pi[Em]casso said
"I'd [Asus4]paint thi[Am]s girl
from toe [C]to head"
Yvette in [D]English, saying,
[Em]"please [C]have this
Little [D]bit of [D#]instant [Em]bliss"
[D#][Edim][Em][C]
Burgundy [D]nocturne [Em]tips and spills
[C]They move along [D]nicely in
[Em]the spreading stain
[C]New chills new [D]thrills for
[Em]the old uphill [C]battle
How [D]did he wind up [G]here again
Walking, talking,
[Em]touched and [Asus4]scared
[Am]Uninsula[C]ted wires bared
Yvette in [D]English, going,
[Em]"please have [C]this
Little [D]bit of [D#]instant bliss,"

[Interlude 1]
mmm
[D#][Em][D#][Em][C]

[Verse 2]
What [D]blew her like a [Em]leaf this [C]way
Up in the [D]air and [Em]down to earth
[C]First she[D] flusters t[Em]hen she frays
[Am]So quick[C] to ques[D]tion her
own [G]worth
Her cigarette burns her fin[Em]gertips
[Am]It falls like [C]fireworks she curses it
Sweetly in [D]English she says,
[Em]"please have this[C]
Little [D]bit of [D#]instant bliss,"
[Em]mmm[D#][Em]
[C]He sees her tur[D]n and walk awa[Em]y
[C]Skittering lik[D]e a cat on a stone
[C]High heels [D]clicking [Em]what a wary little stray
[C]She leaves him by [D]the seine
[G]alo[C]ne[G]
With black water [Em]and amber lights
[Am]A bony bridge between left[C]
[D]and [C]rig[D]ht[C]
Yvette in [D]English, saying,
"please [Em]have [C]this
Little [D]bit [D#]of instant bliss"
