[Verse 1]
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
And you say...
[Chorus]
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 F Am/E You feel so civilized D F C And you look so pretty in your new lace sleeves
[Verse 2]
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
And you say...
[Chorus]
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 F Am/E You feel so civilized D F C And you look so pretty in your new lace sleeves C Bb Look so pretty in your new lace sleeves
