Verse 1
(E minor) This is a (G major) song about a woman
(A minor) who drowned in her own apartment.
(C major) She knew the (A minor) value of a Sue,
(E minor) but she didn't know what Art meant.
Sure she (G major) could plot its return
(A minor) on a comparative yield curve, (C major)
But (A minor) her heart remained (E minor) empty
though her fridge was full of verve (G major) (A minor)
She wore smart suit (C major) s
to the battlefield (A minor) of the
Nikkei an (E minor) d the Dao
She rode a dhow in Aswan
and (G major) a swan in Ma (A minor) cau
She was a woman of the
(C major) new millennium
but des (A minor) pite all this
(E minor) She drowned (F sharp major) in her (E minor) own
condominium (G major) (A major) (C major) (A minor) (E minor)
This is a song about a woman
who drowned (G major) in her (A minor) own apartment
It began (C major) with a leaky tap, (A minor)
just (E minor) a drip,
no great excitement.
It was beneath (G major) her to call a plumber,
(A minor) and anyway their
prices were too (C major) high.
(A minor) She thought her brains
(E minor) would keep her rich
and her pride would keep her dry. (G major) (A minor)
Hey, wadja wadja,
she was a (C major) woman in control. (A minor)
She'd (E minor) go from Gaza to Ginza
to the Plaza del Sol. (G major) (A major)
So though her shoes (A minor) were (C major) damp
from this strange (A minor) irrigation,
(E minor) Still she felt no panic
at this minor (G major) irrit (A major) ation. (C major) (A minor) (E minor)
By the time she called (G major) a broker,
a (A minor) nail artist and a shrink,
The con (C major) tents of her flat
(A minor) were under threat
from the (E minor) contents of her sink.
But in the execut (G major) ive mind,
com (A minor) mon sense abounds.
She stripped (C major) her wet clothes
from (A minor) her body,
(E minor) moved her CD to higher ground.
She (G major) glad -wrapped her Woff (A major) man
and (A minor) Calvin Klein raincoat,
(C major) She floated (A minor) her sundimes
(E minor) on condoms inflated.
She refused to (G major) call for help.
What would (A major) a friend (A minor) say?
(C major) An d so she drowned (A minor) at 1 p (E minor) .m.
On a Wednesday (A major) (A minor) (A major) (C major) (A minor)
(E minor) They say as you drown
your whole life flashes before your eyes (A minor)
So what she saw (C major) was no
more (A minor) than she could buy
(E minor) and did she fret and pout
that death (G major) had called her to his dis (A major) co?
No, (A minor) (C major) but she was pissed
she'd (A minor) missed that ball (E minor) in San Francisco
Her crowd (G major) were an unforgiving sort, (A major)
(A minor) they'd not forget the snub
(C major) She'd clubbed (A minor) with Trump
an (E minor) d trumped with clubs
But prestige doesn't (G major) help
when you've run out (A minor) of headroom
A fireman (C major) with tats (A minor) found her bob (E minor) bing
against the (A minor) ceiling (E minor) of her own two
-bedroom (A major) (C major) (A minor) (E minor)
That was a song about a woman
who drowned (A major) in (A minor) her own apartment.
(C major) She knew the value (A minor) of a sue
but (E minor) she didn't know what art meant.
She tried to (G major) buy the meaning of (A minor) life
but won only the meanness (C major) of death. (A minor)
She wrote (E minor) a dow and as one
but she ran out of breath
in her own (A minor) condominium
at (C major) 1pm on a (A minor) Wednesday
with barely a sound.
Outro 1
She drowned.
(E minor)
