Chords

By Elvis Costello From the album: Imperial Bedroom NOTE: this song is in 3/4 time
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

    B                        Em
She swore she'd never told before
But I doubt it
   C
So he bit his tongue

    Bm                        Am
And tried hard to capture his breath

                              C
When she said I waited all my life
For just a little death
D                G            F#m
Say you wouldn't kid about it

B                Em
Say you wouldn't kid about it

A                G            F#m
Say you wouldn't kid about it

B                Em           Eb7
Say you wouldn't kid about it

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
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

C
We fight so frail

Bm                    Am
Making love tooth and nail

                           C/D
You gave me the kiss of my life

                                    D
I might even live to tell the tale
(chorus)
