  By Elvis Costello

  >From the album: Imperial Bedroom

  Gm   = XX0333

  Edim = XX2323

  Eb   = XX1343

  Db   = XX3121

  Dbm  = XX2120

  

  

  INTRO:

  Cm  Bb  Cm  Bb

  

  Bb         Cm

  All the bedroom lights go out 

         Bb

  As the neighbourhood gets quiet 

  Fm                                       Cm

  Everything in heaven and earth is almost right 

                Cm                            Bb

  But there's a wife whos wondering where her husband could be tonight 

               Fm                              Cm

  And when the phone rang only once she took a dreadful fright 

         Cm                                Bb

  Little things just seem to undermine her confidence in him

  Fm                         Cm

  He was late this time last week 

  Cm                           Bb

  Who can she turn to when the chance of coincidence is slim 

             Fm                        G+      G9  G

  'Cause the baby isn't old enought to speak 

  

  G              Edim Eb       

  There's been a long honeymoon

  Bb                  Edim Eb        Gm 

  She thought too late and spoke too soon

             Ab                             Gm

  There's no money back guarantee on future happiness 

                 Edim Eb

  There's been a long honeymoon 

  Db                    Dbm                B

  If he's out on a date then her life's in ruins 

      Bm                F#         Bm   A     G#m       Gm

  She never thought her love could ever be as strong as this 

  

  Bb      Cm

  All the movies and the papers 

              Bb     

  Feature the murders of lonely women 

        Fm                             Cm

  If he isn't in by ten she'll call up her best friend 

  Cm   

  Why doesn't he come home 

               Bb

  Why does her friends phone keep on ringing 

  Fm                        G+ (?)

   . . . . Maybe she should just pretend 

  

  (chorus)
