Lush Life

E7  A        E7       Fdim  A
I used to visit all the very gay 
places
E7  Fdim    A
Those come what may places
  E7    A   D9    A  Cdim     
Where one relaxes on the axis of the
A7M
 wheel of life
 Fdim         A7M              
To   get   the feel of life 
Fdim    A7M
from jazz and cocktails
E7  A       E7   Fdim        A
The girls I knew had sad and sullen 
gray faces
   E7    Fdim   A
With distant gay traces
   E7    A     D9       A      
That used to be there you could
Cdim     A7M
 see where they'd been washed away

By   too   many through the day

twelve o'clock tales

Then you came along with your
Dm7       Gm        Dm
 siren of song to tempt me to 
madness
A7   Dm         A7      Dm      
I thought for a while that your 
   Dm7       Gm          A
poignant smile was tinged with the 
sadness
   Gdim        Fdim
Of a great love for   me
     Gdim     Fdim E      Dm6    
Ah yes!   I   was wrong again, I was

 wrong

Life is lonely again, and only 
 Bb6  F        Bb   A C#
last year everything seemed so sure
C  Bb      Fm    Bb          F
Now life is awful again, a 
          Bb6    F      Bb A   
trough full of hearts could only be 
C#
a bore

A week in Paris could ease the 
           Bb     Bbm9        Bb 
bite of it, all I care is to 
     Cdim     Bbm9
smile in spite of it
Bb      Bbm9        Bb         
I'll forget you, I will, while 
F7       Bb6        F     Bb    
yet you are still  burning 
A  C#
inside my brain

Romance is mush,   stifling 
     F7/13
those who strive
 Bb9          Cdim          Bb 
So I'll live a lush life in 
Gm7    Gdim
some small dive
  Bb      Bbm     Cdim     Bb   
And there I'll be, while I rot 
      F7/13
with the rest
F7  Eb   E7  F7   F#7  F7   
Of those whose lives are 
Gdim     Bb
lonely,    too
