Verse 1
(E minor) Ah, buddy, don't you think (B major) you had
It's practically (E minor) morning already.
One more, I said.
(A minor) All right, all right.
My shift is over anyway. (F sharpdim)
(A minor) So let's settle the bill, okay? (E minor)
(C minor) (Adim) (B major) (D major) (E minor)
Jeez, you're in a bad way,
ain't you?
Worse than most
of the blind up here.
(B major) Ah, it's the morning (E minor) shift.
Maybe he'll know what to (A minor) do with you.
Yes. (Adim) Yes, (B major) what to do with (Adim) me.
That's (E minor) the question, isn't it?
It's always been (B major) the question.
Ever since the (D sharp major) beginning. (C minor) (G sharp minor)
(D sharp major) She (C sharp minor) look s for sympathy. (F sharp major)
I (B major) give her (C minor) sor row. (B major)
(G sharp minor) She (E minor) asks for honesty (B major)
(F sharp major) I've (B major) none to (E minor) borrow (B major)
(G sharp major) She needs my tender (C sharp minor) kiss
(G sharp major) She (C sharp minor) beg s it of me
(B flat major) I give her an (D sharp major) ugliness
Why does she love (E minor) me? (D sharp major)
(G sharp minor) She yearns (C sharp minor) for higher things,
(F sharp major) things I can't give (B major) her
The (G sharp minor) rush (D sharpaug) that music (E minor) brings,
(F sharpsus4) I (F sharp major) can't de (B major) liver
(G sharp minor) And (G sharp major) even (C sharp minor) when she sings
and (G sharp major) soars (C sharp minor) above me
I (B flat major) tried to (D sharp major) clip her wings,
why (Edim) does (D sharp major) she love me?
(G sharp minor) One more (B flat major) drink, sir.
(G sharp minor) That's what I need,
don't you think, (E major) sir?
(C sharp minor) Leave (B major) the hurt behind. (G sharp minor)
(B flat major) (G sharp minor) (E major) (G sharp minor) (E major)
She (G sharp minor) wants the (C sharp minor) man I was,
(F sharp major) husband (B major) an d father,
(G sharp minor) at least she (E minor) thinks she does.
She (F sharp major) needn't (B major) bother,
(G sharp major) beneath this (C sharp minor) mask I wear
(G sharp major) There's nothing (C sharp minor) of me,
(B flat major) just horror, (D sharp major) shame, despair
Why does she love me?
(G sharp minor) How about you, (B flat major)
(G sharp minor) Tell me, what am I to (E major) do, sir? (C sharp minor)
(B major) Leave the hurt be (G sharp minor) hind. (B flat major) (G sharp minor)
(B flat major) Morning, Bernie.
Coffee, please.
Hurry up before I freeze.
I'll just take it black.
We can't.
I fancy meeting you here.
Miss Sherry.
(F sharp major) Drown (B major) ing your sorrows, are you? (F sharp minor)
(B major) On (F sharp minor) the contrary.
(E minor) I'm celebrating (F sharp major) a reunion
(E minor) with old friends.
Friends I had long thought dead
(F sharp minor) and buried.
An (E minor) d you? Me? (Gaug)
(D sharpaug) I've been (D sharp major) for a (D sharpaug) swim.
This (Gaug) (F sharp major) town is coarse
and cold and mean
It's hard to keep your conscience clean
Faceless in the (F sharp major) crowd
Anything's (F sharp major) allowed
And so I come at dawn each day
Come to wash it all away
Sink into the (F sharp major) sea,
blue and cool (F sharp major) and kind.
Let it set (F sharp major) me free,
(B major) let the past un (F sharp major) wind.
Leave (B major) the (C sharp minor) hurt (A major) (C sharp minor) be hind. (F sharp major)
(B major) Miss (C sharp major) Sherry, (F sharp major)
(B major) (F sharp major) I wish (B major) (D sharpdim) (B major) I knew,
but I'm afraid her music has always (F sharp major) been somewhat
of a mystery to me.
But there's more to this
than the music,
Monsieur, believe me, I saw it,
there's something, I I don't know.
Just take her away.
Now. For all our sakes.
(F sharp minor) Sail across the sea.
Put us out of mind.
Close your eyes and flee.
Let yourself stay blind.
What do you mean?
What are you talking
about?
Trust me, monsieur.
Don't let her sing.
Once he gets into her soul,
there's nothing she
won't do for him.
Leave this place behind.
Miss Sherry! Miss Sherry!
He's not Mephistopheles,
you know.
When it comes down to it,
he's just another circus freak.
