Asus    C6sus      Bb
The impact, the aftershave

    G5       F5        Asus
The European cigarettes

       C6sus      Bb
The taxi, the alcohol

     G5      F5            Asus
That lingers on your breath

            C6sus        Bb
The lipstick, the street lamp

    G5     F5    Asus              C6sus
The woolen overcoat, the front desk

             Bb             G5    F5
You tell yourself, it isn't over yet

Bb              C
Second best, oh second best

Bb             A
I can learn to live with this

Bb            C
Plus I really need a rest

Bb               Bmaj7             Bb
After all what's wrong with second best?

       C                       Asus
What's wrong with second best?

Asus    C6sus         Bb
The motel, the distances

                 G5   F5      Asus
Cave into kisses cold and wet

         C6sus  Bb                  G5      F5
Familiar exchanges, like needle pulling thread

D             Asus2       F5                    G5
The empty movements, that once were so inspired

D          Asus2              F5                     G5
Desperate attempts to fan the flame without the fire

Bb           C
The mattress creaks beneath

Dbmaj7          D   C      Bb
The symphony of misery and cum

             Bmaj7            Bb
Still we lie jerking back and forth

             A
And blurring into one

Bb              C
Second best, oh second best

Bb             A
I can learn to live with this

Bb            C
Plus I really need a rest

Bb               Bmaj7             Bb
After all what's wrong with second best?

       C                       Asus
