Intro 1
(A minor)
Verse 1
Four o'clock in the (A minor) afternoon
And I (B minor) didn't feel like very much. (B major)
(A minor) I said to myself,
"Where are you golden boy,
Where is (B minor) your famous golden touch?" (B major)
(A minor) I thought you knew where
All of the ele (Adim) (B minor) phants lie down, (B major)
(A minor) I thought you were the crown prince
Of all the wheels (B minor) in Ivory Town. (B major)

Verse 2
(A minor) Just take a look at your body now,
(G minor) There's nothing much to save
(A minor) And a bitter voice in the mirror cries,
"Hey, Prince, (G minor) you need a shave."
Verse 3
(A minor) Now if you can manage to get
Your trembling (B minor) fingers to behave,
Why (A minor) don't you try unwrapping
A stainless steel (B minor) razor blade?
Verse 4
That's right, (A minor) it's come to this,
Yes (G minor) it's come to this, (G sharp major)
And wasn't it a long (C major) (G major)
(C major) way down, (F major) (G sharp major)
Was (G sharp minor) n't it a strange (C major)
way down?
(F major)
Verse 5
(A minor)
There's no hot water
And the cold (B minor) is running thin.
(A minor) Well, what do you expect from
The kind of places you've
(B minor) been living in?
Verse 6
Don't (A minor) drink from that cup,
It's all caked and (B minor) cracked
along the rim.
That's (A minor) not the electric light, my friend,
That is your (B minor) vision growing dim.
Verse 7
(A minor) Cover up your face with soap, there, (G minor)
Now you're Santa Claus. (E flat major)
(A minor) And you've got a gift for anyone
Who will (G minor) give you his applause.
Verse 8
(A minor) I thought you were a racing man,
Ah, (B minor) but you couldn't take the pace.
That's a (A minor) funeral in the mirror
And it's (B minor) stopping at your face.
Verse 9
That's right, it's (A minor) come to this,
Yes it's (G minor) come to this,
And (G sharp major) wasn't it a long (G major) (C major) way down, (F major)
Ah (G sharp major) wasn't it a strange (C major) way down?
(F major)
Verse 10
(A minor)
Once there was a path
And a girl (B minor) with chestnut hair,
And you (A minor) passed the summers
Picking all of the berries (B minor) that grew there
There (B major) were times (A minor) she was a woman,
Oh, there were times (B minor) she was just a child,
And you held (A minor) her in the shadows
Where the (B minor) raspberries grow
wild.
Verse 11
And you climbed (A minor) the twilight mountains
And (G minor) you sang about the view, (E flat major)
(A minor) And everywhere that you wandered
Love seemed (G major) to go (G minor) along with you.
(A minor) That's a hard one to remember,
Yes it (B minor) makes you clench your fist.
Verse 12
And then the veins (A minor) stand
out like highways,
(B minor) All along your wrist.
And yes it's (A minor) come to this,
It's come (G minor) to this,
And (G sharp major) wasn't it a long (C major) way down, (F major) (G sharp major)
Wasn't it a strange (C major) way down? (F major)
Verse 13
(A minor) You can still find a job,
Go out and talk (B minor) to a friend.
On (A minor) the back of every magazine
There are those (B minor) coupons you can send.
Why don't (A minor) you join the Rosicrucians,
They can (B minor) give you back your hope,
You can (A minor) find your love with diagrams
On a plain (B minor) brown envelope.
Verse 14
But you've used (A minor) up all your coupons
Except (G minor) the one that seems
To (A minor) be written on your wrist
Along with (G minor) several thousand dreams.
Verse 15
(A minor) Now Santa Claus comes forward,
That's a razor (B minor) in his mit
And he (A minor) puts on his dark glasses
And he shows (B minor) you where to hit
And then the (A minor) cameras pan,
The stand (G minor) in stunt man,
(G sharp major) Dress rehearsal (C major) rag, (F major)
It's just the (G sharp major) dress rehearsal (C major) rag, (F major)
You know this (G sharp major) dress re (C major) hearsal (G minor) (F major) rag,
It's just a (G sharp major) dress re (C major) hearsal (F major) rag. (F minor)
