[Intro] F#m7 Bm7 G#m7 C#7 F#m7 Bm7 C#7 [Verse 1]
F#m7            Bm7
Nighttime lady, she says maybe

G#m7   C#7       F#m7       Bm7  C#7
In the all-night laundromat

F#m7            Bm7
Wait one minute, I have seen her

G#m7   C#7      F#m7  F#7
She's a billion-aire
[Pre-chorus]
Bm7       D          E    A
She was a hotel detective

              Bm7         D
But now she's gotten promoted

G             G7           C
I don't think it was the money

Am         Am7          Am6     B
She didn't care about expensive things

   Em                Em7           Em6     F#
No furs or pearls or fancy cars or diamond rings
[Chorus]
Bm        D       E       A             Bm7          D
She was a hotel detective but now she's better connected

Bm         D       E      A                  Bm7            D
She didn't have to change anything, just the stencil on her window

Bm          D          E     A             Bm7        D
She used to be quite a lady, she drove the underworld crazy

Bm          D    E             A           Bm7       D
But now she goes insane in her way when it suits her occupation

Bm            D     E          A           Bm7     D
She read that motel directive, it told her she was defective

Bm          D        E      A          Bm7            D
I guess she found an easier way up the ladder and she took it

Bm       D       E           F#m
Now that lady is running the world
[Verse 2]
F#m7
Is she lonely?

Bm7            G#m7    C#7       F#m7     Bm7  C#7
She's the only girl in this back alleyway

F#m7                Bm7
Will she shoot you? She won't have to

G#m7      C#7   F#m7  F#7
You're al-ready dead
[Pre-chorus]
Bm7       D          E    A
