Verse 1
G 
I used to visit all the very gay places,
F 
G 
those come what may places,
F 
G 
where one relaxes on the axis
F 
of the wheel of life,
G 
to get the feel of life
G 
from jazz and cocktails.
E 
F 
The men I knew had sad
G 
F 
and sullen gray faces
G 
with disdain -gay traces
F 
G 
that used to be there you could
F 
see where they'd been washed away
G 
by too many through the day,
G 
12 o 'clock tales.
F# 
Bm 
Then you came along
with your siren song
to tempt me to madness.
C#m 
F#

Bm

Now life is awful again.
G

G 
A trough full of hearts
F# 
A 
could only be a   bore.
Bm

A   week in Paris
A 
D 
C# 
Eb 
Ab 
might ease the bite of it,
Ebm 
F# 
F 
F# 
Ab 
But all I care is to smile in spite of it.
G 
Ab 
I'll forget you, I will,
G 
G 
While yet you are still burning
F# 
E 
inside my brain
Am 
Romances mush,
B 
stifling those who strive
D 
G 
C 
F 
Bm 
So I'll live a lush life in some small dive
E 
C 
Em 
And there I'll be where I'll rot
Eb 
B 
F 
D 
Bb 
with the rest of those
F# 
F#m 
Ab 
C# 
G 
whose lives are lonely
Ab 
Ebm 
G 
too.
