Elvis Costello – You Stole My Bell (Guitar)

             C
There is a place

                 C7  F
Underneath the staircase

                  C
Where I keep the evidence

                    C7    Dm
Of what once would offer peace

      Bb              Dm
In a deep blue velvet box filled with joy and pride

 Gm
Should I pick the locks?

 D               G
Should I peek inside?

 C                    Em
Can I stand the sight of those happy days?

 Am                       E         A    D
Should I strike a match, burn them all away?

             G   D   Em            F   C    D
'Cause you stole my bell and you broke my chime

         Bm           Em           F     C    D
And the clock spins 'round but it won't keep time

           Em          Bm            C                 Am
There are many lovely girls in this cold and loveless world

     G             Em
But not one is the equal of you,

 C                Am
Heaven knows how much I love you

 G             Em
Not one is the equal of you,

 C                Am            F F F
Heaven knows how much I love you

            C
So here we are

                  Fsus4      F
But it's not quite like we thought

                    C
Those things were priceless then

                 F        Dm
Now I know they can't be bought

      Bb                   F
In a deep blue velvet box fastened with a pin

 Gm
Should I lift the lid?

 D             G
Should I look within?

 C                    Em
Was it my last chance or my first mistake?

AM                 E          A     D
Is it just a step that we'll never take?

             G   D   Em             F   C    D
'Cause you stole my bell then you broke my chime

         Bm           Em           F     C    D
Now the clock spins 'round but it won't keep time

           Em          Bm            C                 Am   Am
There are many lovely girls in this cold and loveless world

     G             Em
But not one is the equal of you,

 C                Am
Heaven knows how much I love you

 G             Em
Not one is the equal of you,

 C                Am
Heaven knows how much I love you

 G             Em
Not one is the equal of you,

 C                Am            Am
Heaven knows how much I love you
