Oh darling how I miss you
C G
I'm just the mere shadow of my former selfishness
Am7 D
I crave the silhouette of your kiss
G D
With only the blue light of the TV on
Em B
Lip reading threats and false alarms
C G
There's a boy somewhere holding hands with himself
Am7 D
And a girl in a window on the Reeperbarn
C C#dim G B
Whenever I put my foot in my mouth and you begin to doubt
Em A
That it's you that I'm dreaming about
Cm C
Do I have to draw you a diagram?
C#dim G Am Em
All I ever want is just to fall into your human hands
G D
With the kings and queens of the dance hall craze
Em B
Checkmate in three moves in your heyday
C G
But the girls don't listen to your line anymore
Am7 D
Now you're part of someone else
G D Em
On the factory floor and you still say "Wheres the action?"
B C
Now you manufacture happiness
G D
And get sold on the cheap for someone's satisfaction
**Chorus
G D
All you toy soldiers and scaremongers
Em B
Are you living in this world sometimes I wonder
C G Am7 D
In between saying you've seen too much and saying you've seen it all before
G D
Tighter and tighter I hold you tightly
Em
You know I love you more than slightly
G Am7 D
Although I've never said it like this before
**Chorus
Kid About It Tom: G
G F#m B
He saw no tears in her eyes
Em
Say you wouldn't kid about it
G F#m
She's telling all of those lies

When she said I waited all my life

For just a little death

C Em
Sometimes he takes himself so seriously
C Em
She makes her movements mysteriously
F Dm Eb7
Slow fast or furiously
C
It's a big responsibility
Em
With a face full of mixed ability
C
Big dreams of elegance
Em F C
Singing "The Leaving of Liverpool"
D D9 (XX1232)
And turning into Americans
D G
Say you wouldn't kid about it
G F#m B
So what if this is a man's world
Em
I want to be a kid again about it
G F#m
Give me back my sadness
B Em
I couldn't hide it even if I tried girl

We fight so frail

Making love tooth and nail

You gave me the kiss of my life

I might even live to tell the tale

F G D
Actions speak louder now than words (By just a fraction)
D G A C
What's the use of saying I love you when I'm drinking to distraction
G Gm
We save our sanity
A F
By saying such and such
Db+
After all its been discussed
F G
You say you must be touched
**Chorus
The Long Honeymoon Tom: Bb Intro: Cm Bb Cm Bb

All the bedroom lights go out

As the neighborhood gets quiet
Fm Cm
Everything in heaven and earth is almost right
Cm Bb
But there's a wife who's wondering where her husband could be tonight

Who can she turn to when the chance of coincidence is slim
Fm G+ G9 G
'Cause the baby isn't old enough to speak

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

Between a cruel mouth and a jealous voice

Got back to London

Untie the gag the cat's out of the bag

But won't show his claws

He's just a shabby doll

She said you must be joking
Em
Some things are left unspoken
Em
You're just a shabby doll
Em
He's lying limp and soaking
D Em
He was openly broken
D
By just a shabby doll
**Chorus

More like a hand job than the hand jive

Two Little Hitlers Tom: A
A E Why are we racing to be so old? A E I'm up late pacing the floor I won't be told A E D You have your reservations I'm bought and sold D I'll face the music I'll face the facts E Even when we walk in polka dots and chequer slacks A E Bowing and squawking Running after titbits A E7 Bobbing and squinting Just like a nitwit
Chorus: D Two little Hitlers will fight it out until E A One little Hitler does the other one's will D E D E I will return I will not burn
E Down in the basement A E I need my head examined I need my eyes excited A E7 I'd like to join the party But I was not invited A E7 You make a member of me I'll be delighted D I wouldn't cry for lost souls, you might drown E Dirty words for dirty minds Written in a toilet town A E7 Dial me a Valentine She's a smooth operator A E7 It's all so calculated She's got a calculator A E7 She's my soft touch typewriter And I'm the great dictator
**Chorus
A A simple game of self-respect E A You flick a switch and the world goes off E A Nobody jumps as you expect E F#m E I would have thought you would have had enough by now
A E7 You call selective dating For some effective mating A E7 I thought I'd let you down, dear But you were just deflating A E7 I knew right from the start We'd end up hating
D Pictures of the merchandise Plastered on the wall E We can look so long as we don't have to talk at all A E7 You say you'll never know him He's an unnatural man A A He doesn't want your pleasure He wants as no one can A E7 He wants to know the names of All those he's better than
**Chorus D E I will return D E I will not burn . . . . .

You Little Fool Tom: G Intro: G C G
G C D
Daddy's best girl in the world is not supposed to have a boyfriend
C Bm Am7
But she's never wanted at home
C G Am7
Other girls are allowed to wear their makeup
C Bm D
She sneaks out her lipstick powder and comb
D G C
She surrounds his name with hearts and flowers
G C G C6
Talks on the telephone for hours and hours
But with the bird in his hand
G D G
And two on a string
C D
The words of love have an imitation ring
Chorus: D C You little fool G D C G I suppose that your going to stay all night D C You little fool G D C G Don't look at me that way you know it isn't right D Bsus4 G D C You little fool, you little fool, you little fool
Bridge:
E A A7 D
They say no news is good news
E A A7 D
The little girl wants information
D C G E A
Mother just gives her some pills to choose
F Bb C
And says go and use your imagination
G C D
Daddy's best girl in the world says just look what I have got
C Bm Am7
As she sits beside him on the high stools
C G Am7
With his arms around her neck, snowball in one hand
C Bm7 D
And the other full of imitation jewels
D
She fingers a string of pearls
G C G C6
An imitation but he'll never know it
G D G
Imitation lashes flutter above
C D Em
Looking for an imitation of love
**Chorus
You'll Never Be A Man Tom: A Intro: Bm G C B Fadd9 G
A Bm A D You need protection from the physical art of conversation A Bm A D Though the fist is mightier than the lip, it adds the aggravation
Bridge And Chorus:
Bm G
I got the password
C Am
I got persuasion
F Am F Am
A proposition for invasion of your privacy
F Dm7 C
Give yourself away and find the fake in me
A
You'll never be a man
D E A D A
No matter how many foreign bodies you can take
A D A
You'll never be a man
A D A
When you're half a woman and you're half awake
Bm7 A
(1) With a face full of tears and a chemical shake
(2) Under the table with a chemical shake
D
Given half a chance, that I can take
F C
Are you so superior, are you in such pain
Dm7 C
Are you made out of porcelain?
F C
When they made you they broke the cast
Dm7 G
Don't wanna be first, I just want to last
A Bm A D You strike a profile on the low side of my imagination A Bm A D My eyes climbed down to find the point of possible saturation
(Bridge And Chorus)
After The Fall Tom :Am
Am E
In an anonymous rendez-vous
Am
where the forbidden lovers repair
C G
They're burning down another damn candle
E Fmaj7
they're melting the tables and chairs
Am E
Beneath them applause from the balcony
Am
whenever they accomplished making love
C G
Other times they thought they heard laughter
E Fmaj7
coming from the balcony above
G D
She lies to his right and she carelessly resites
Em D
All of her brand new appetites
G D
She seems brittle and small it don't sound like her at all
Em E
Since she came back to him After the fall
Am E
She said You never visited the countryside
Am
So I've made you a country to order
C G
She put up a little tent in the bedroom
E Fmaj7
Crickets played on a tape recorder
Am E
The ceiling was festooned with phosphorous stars
Am
She noticed his skin turning cold
C G
Burning all his clothes on the bonfire
E Fmaj7
Relax she whispered and tightened the blindfold
G D
She lies to his right and she carelessly resites
Em D
All of her brand new appetites
G D
She seems brittle and small it don't sound like her at all
Em E
Since she came back to him After the fall
Am E
You've changed but not for the better, babe
Am
I'd tell you why but what's the use
C G
'Cause it's the same kind of pity
E Fmaj7
a drunkard gives as his excuse
Am E
You were sharp and ideal as a bobby pin
Am
Now your eyes are deserted and quiet
C G
We both look like those poor shattered mannequins
E Fmaj7
Thrown through the window in the riot
G D
She lies in his arms and without any qualms
Em D
Revels in shallow delights
G D
She seems brittle and small it don't look like her at all
Em E
Since she came back to him After the fall
