        E                                   F#m
All the late night bargains have been struck

            B         C#m         B/D#      C#/E#
Between the satin beaus and their belles

F#m                       
Prehistoric garbage trucks

         D9
Have the city to themselves

E                          F#m
Echoes and roars, dinosaurs

            B         C#m         B/D#      C#/E#
They're all doing the monster mash

    F#m
And most of the taxis, most of the whores

    D9
Are only taking calls for cash
[Chorus]
A                   B       B/A
I don't know how it happened

              E                     F#m
Well, now, my door was standing open

  B      C#m               B/D#  C#/E#
Security was laid back and lax

           F#m
But it was only my heart got a-broken

                    D9
You must have had a pass key made out of wax

           E                     
You played robbery with insolence

                 F#m                 B     C#m        B/D#  C#/E#
And I played the blues in twelve bars down on Lover's Lane

        F#m
And you never did have the intelligence to use

           D9
The twelve keys hanging off of my chain
[Chorus]
A                   B       B/A
I don't know how it happened

   E/G#                 Aadd9  A

Well, now, it's past last call for alcohol

     B          C#m               B/D#  C#/E#
Past recall has been here and gone

    F#m
The landlord he finally paid us all

          D9
The satin jazzmen have put away their horns

          E                                  F#m
And we're standing outside of this wonderland

B          C#m             B/D#     C#/E#
Looking so bereaved and so bereft

       F#m
Like a Bowery bum when he finally understands

             D9
The bottle's empty and there's nothing left
[Chorus]
A                   B       B/A
I don't know how it happened

       E/G#                         Aadd9 A
It was faster than the eye could flick

    E/B        E  F#m  B    C#m  B/A
