D
History repeats the old conceits
    G
The glib replies, the same
D
Keep your fingers on important issues
      F                               G
With crocodile tears and pocket full of tissues

D
I'm just the oily slick
   G
On the windup world of the nervous tick
D                 F      G
In a very fashionable hovel
D
I hang around dying to be tortured
G
You'll never be alone in the bone orchard
D                              F         G
His battle with the bottle is nothing so novel
D                             G
So in this almost empty gin palace
  Bm
Through a two-way looking glass
   F
You see your Alice

(Repetir sequência de acordes com os versos abaixo)
You know she has no sense
For all your jealousy
In a sense she still smiles very sweetly
Charged with insults and flattery
Her body moves with malice
Do you have to be so cruel to be callous
And now you find you fit this identikit completely
You say you have no secrets
And then leave discreetly

G
I might make it California's fault be locked in Geneva's deepest vault
Bm                                                         Dm
Just like the canals on Mars and the great barrier reef  I come to you beyond belief

(Voltar para primeira sequência de acordes com os versos abaixo)
My hands were clammy and cunning
She's been suitably stunning
But I know there's not a hope in Hades
All the laddies cat call and wolf whistle
So called gentlemen and ladies
Dog fight like rose and thistle

D
   I've got a feeling
G
     I'm gonna get a lot of grief
D
Once this seemd so appealing
F
     Now I am beyond belief
