Verse
[Db6] [Cb9] [Dbmaj7]
I used to visit all the very gay places
[Cb9] [Dbmaj7]
Those come what may places
[Cb9] [Dbmaj7] [Ebmaj7] [Ab6] [A6] [Abm7]
Where one relaxes on the axis of the wheel of life
[D13] [Ab6]
To get the feel of life
[D9#11] [Dbm6add9] [Gm7b5]
From jazz and cocktails
Verse
[Db6] [Cb9] [Dbmaj7]
The girls I knew had sad and sullen gray faces
[Cb9] [Dbmaj7]
With distingué traces
[Cb9] [Dbmaj7] [Ebmaj7] [Ab6]
That used to be there you could see where
[A6] [Abm7]
They'd been washed away
[D13] [Ab6]
By too many through the day
[D9#11] [Dbm6add9] [Gm7b5]
Twelve o'clocktails
Bridge
[C7] [Fm] [Bb9] [Fm] [Ab6]
Then you came along with your siren's song
[Fm] [Gm7b5]
To tempt me to madness
[C7] [Fm] [Bb9] [Fm] [Ab6]
I thought for a while that your pointed smile
[Fm]
Was tinged with the sadness
[Ab13] [Bdim]
Of a great love for me
[Bb9] [Ebm7]
Ah yes, I was wrong
[Adim] [Ebm7b5] [D13]
Again I was wrong
Chorus
[Dbmaj7] [D13] [Dbmaj7]
Life is lonely again
[D13] [Db6]
And only last year
[Db6] [A6] [B13] [Emaj7]
Everything seemed so assured
[D13] [Dbmaj7] [D13] [Dbmaj7]
Now life is awful again
[D13] [Db6]
A troughful of heart
[Db6] [C13] [Fmaj7]
Could only be a bore
[A13] [Abmaj7] [E7#9] [Abmaj7] [Em7] [A7]
A week in Paris could ease the bite of it
[Dmaj7] [Dm7] [G7] [Cmaj7] [Ab13]
All I care is to smile in spite of it
Outro
[Dbmaj7] [D13] [Dbmaj7]
I'll forget you, I will
[D13] [Db6]
Oh yet you are still
[Db6] [C7#9] [B13] [Ab6] [Bb7]
Burning inside my brain
[F#m9] [B13]
Romance is mush
[A7#5] [Ab13]
Stifling those who strive
[Dbmaj7] [Gb13]
I'll live a lush
[Ab6] [Bb7]
Life in some small dive
[F#m9] [B13]
And there I'll be
[A9#5]
While I rot with the rest
[Ab13] [A13] [Bb13] [B13] [C7#9] [D13] [Dbmaj7]
Of those whose lives are lone ly too
