[Intro]
D

[Part 1]
D
History repeats the old conceits
      G
The glib replies, the same defeats
D
Keep your finger on important issues
        F
With crocodile tears and a pocketful of tissues

[Part 2]
D
I'm just the oily slick
         G
On the windup world of the nervous tick
D                     F
In a very fashionable hovel

[Part 3]
D
I hang around dying to be tortured
G
You'll never be alone in the bone orchard
      D/F#                      F
This battle with the bottle is nothing so novel

[Part 4]
D                       G
So in this almost empty gin palace
  D/F#
Through a two-way looking glass
   F
You see your Alice

[Part 5]
D
You know she has no sense
G
For all your jealousy
D                             F
In a sense she still smiles very sweetly

[Part 6]
              D
Charged with insults and flattery
 G            
Her body moves with malice
D                    F
Do you have to be so cruel to be callous
D                            G                       D/F#
And now you find you fit this identikit completely
                          F
You say you have no secrets and then leave discreetly

[Chorus]
G
I might make it California's fault
G
Be locked in Geneva's deepest vault
      Bm/F#                                            G
Just like the canals of Mars and the Great Barrier Reef
                       Dm
I come to you beyond belief

[Part 7]
D
My hands were clammy and cunning
G
She's been suitably stunning
D                         F
But I know there's not a hope in Hades
D                     G
All the laddies cat call and wolf whistle
D                                 F
So called gentlemen and ladies dog fight like rose and thistle

[End]
D
I got a feeling
G
I'm going to get a lot of grief
D/F#
Once this seemed so appealing
F
Now I am beyond belief
D
I got a feeling
G
I'm going to get a lot of grief
D/F#
Once this seemed so appealing
F
Now I am beyond belief
D
I got a feeling
G
I'm going to get a lot of grief
D/F#
Once this seemed so appealing
F
Now I am beyond belief
