Elvis Costello & The Attractions – New Lace Sleeves (Guitar)

C
  Bad lovers face to face in the morning

Am
  Shy apologies and polite regrets

F
  Slow dances that left no warning of

Dm
  Outraged glances and indiscreet yawning

F                      G                C
  Good manners and bad breath get you nowhere

                    Am
Even presidents have  newspaper lovers

F                      Fm
  Ministers go crawling  under covers

C          Am
  She's no angel

C         F
  He's no saint

C           Am               F                     G
  They're all covered up with whitewash and grease paint

Cmaj7            Fmaj7                      Cmaj7       Am
     The teacher never told you anything but   white lies

Bb                   C/Bb
   But you never see the lies

        F/A   Fm/Ab
And you believe

Bb/Ab                         C/G
   Oh, you know you have been captured

You feel so civilized

D                 F                       C
  And you look so pretty in your new lace sleeves

C
  The salty lips of the socialite sisters

          Am
With their  continental fingers that have

F
  never seen working blisters

Dm
   Oh, I know they've got their problems

F           G
  I wish I was one of them

C              Am
  They say daddy's coming home soon

F                                  Fm
  With his sergeant stripes and his  Empire mug and spoon

C       Am
  No more fast buck

C                         F
  And when are they gonna learn their lesson

C                     Am               F              G
  When are they gonna stop all of these victory processions
