Lush Life

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

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

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

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

     E7   Fdim   A
with distingue traces

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

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

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

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

       Gdim       Fdim
Of a great love for me

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

 Bb     Fm    Bb
Life is lonely again

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

C    Bb     Fm     Bb
Now life is awful again

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

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

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

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

   F     Bb    A   C#
Burning inside my brain

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

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

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

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