Starting to Come to Me chords by Elvis Costello
Verse 1
C
It`s started to come to me
F
C
Your new career would
G
C
probably end like this
All that professional lipstick pressed
G
into an amateur kiss
C
F
C
Farewell to the studied lines and carefully
broken hearts
The overpowering perfume and
F
C
the glimpse of her garter
G
C
Mingling with the sweet smoldering
F
scent of the martyr
C
G
F
Well it`s starting to come to me (come to me,
G
come to me)
C
Starting to come to me
Verse 2
C
So you began to recognize the
F
G
C
well- dressed man that everybody loves
It started when you chopped off all the
G
fingers of those pony skin gloves
C
F
Then you cut a hole out where the
C
F
C
love light used to shine
Your tears of pleasure equal
F
Em
measure crocodile and brine
C
G
You try to laugh it off saying
C
F
"I knew all the time...
G
F
But it`s starting to come to me" (come to me,
G
come to me)
C
Starting to come to me
Verse 3
G
Sometimes you bring me down
D
to play reluctant confidant
You say you may reward him if he
G
gives you what you want
C
But these are days to treasure
D
and to hold
They are much too precious
G
to be sold
C
You`d probably play the pirate if you
D
G
F
G
weren't so busy digging up the gold
C
Now you could tell
Verse 4
he wanted you `cause
F
G
C
you almost taste it on his breath
But you always cheated life just like the
G
bold dare- devil cheated death
C
Incidentally, late last night your under
F
C
G
C
study finally got what you deserve
In private she`s seductive but in public she`s prim,
G
F
porcelain and nervous
C
F
Afraid someone will recognize
Em
F
C
the shame in her eyes
You've still got your dignity or
F
C
the next best disguise
G
C
You never know when to say no
F
and when to compromise
C
G
F
But it`s starting to come to me (come to me,
C
G
come to me)
F
Starting to come to me (come to me,
C
come to me)
G
C
G
C
Starting to come to me
