Lush Life

       E7  A            E7   
I used to visit all the very 
Fdim    A      E7   Fdim   A
gay places, Those come what may 
places

      E7     A    D9   A      
Where one relaxes on the axis 
Cdim      Am7
of the wheel of life

    Fdim      Am7            Fdim
To get the feel of life from jazz
      Am7
 and cocktails

     E7    A         E7      
The girls I knew had sad and 
Fdim       A
sullen gray faces

     E7   Fdim   A
with distingue traces

     E7      A         D9       
That used to be there you could 
A        Cdim       Am7
see where they'd been washed away

    Fdim      Am7           Fdim 
By too many through the day 
    Am7
twelve o' clock tales

  A7   Dm     A7              Dm
Then you came along with your 
      Dm     Gm        Dm
siren song to tempt me to madness

I thought for a while that your 
         Dm       Gm               
poignant smile was tinged with the 
A
sadness

       Gdim       Fdim
Of a great love for me

 Fdim  Gdim  Fdim  E        Dm6 
I guess, I was wrong, again I was 
   F
wrong

 Bb     Fm    Bb
Life is lonely again

 F            Bb6  F             
And only last year everything 
Bb  A  C#
seemed so sure

C    Bb     Fm     Bb
Now life is awful again

     F            Bb6      F      
A trough full of hearts could only
Bb  A C#
 be a bore

   F       B           F         
A week in Paris could ease the 
B    Bb
bite of it

Bb     Bbm9        Bb      Cdim 
All I care is to smile in spite 
  Bbm9
of it

Bb      Bbm9      Bb           
I'll forget you I will, while 
F7          Bb6
yet you are still

   F     Bb    A   C#
Burning inside my brain

    F     Fdim   Fdim      Bb   
Romance is mush, stifling those 
    F7/6
who strive

 Bb9          Cdim        Bb   
I'll live a lush life in some 
Gm7   Gdim
small dive

    Bb         Bbm  Cdim     Bb 
And there I'll be, while I rot 
        F7/6
with the rest

F7  Eb   E7   F7  F#7   F7   
of those whose lives are 
Gdim  Bb
lonely, too
