Bm11: x00455 [Intro] Bm11 D A7 D A7 D A7 D A7 [Verse 1]
D            A7          D          A7
I fell under such gentle persuasion

    D                 D7          G
You can`t refuse it`s like a home from home

Em               Em(maj7)  Em      Em(maj7)
Meanwhile in the motor car kingdom

        Em                    Em(maj7)        A7
They`re finding that all that glitters is not chrome

    D             A7              D             A7
The social circle have these cardiac complaints

      D                D7                   G
Their hearts are empty when their hands are full

Em            Em(maj7)     Em          Em(maj7)
All these new found fond acquaintances

     Em            Em(maj7)   A7
Turn out to be the red rag to my bull
[Chorus]
    A7               D
And I`m up while the dawn is breaking

D7             G
Even though my heart is aching

G                      Bdim     A
I should be drinking a toast to absent friends

           A#dim       D
Instead of these comedians
[Interlude] A7 D A7 D A7 D A7 D A7 Bm Bm(maj7) G D Am D A7 D A7 D A7 D A7 [Verse 2]
     D                 A7          D        A7
I've looked into these eyes upon reflection

        D                D7                   G
They've seen the face of love, they've seen a few

     Em              Em(maj7)    Em       Em(maj7)
What kind of love is this upon inspection

       Em             Em(maj7)       A7
You`ll be the last to know who`s fooling who
[Chorus]
    A7               D
And I`m up while the dawn is breaking

D7             G
Even though my heart is aching

G                      Bdim     A
I should be drinking a toast to absent friends

           A#dim       F#  Bm
Instead of these comedians
[Chorus]
    A7               D
And I`m up while the dawn is breaking

D7             G
Even though my heart is aching

G                      Bdim     A
I should be drinking a toast to absent friends

           A#dim       D
Instead of these comedians
