New Amsterdam Chords by Elvis Costello & The Attractions

[G] _ You're [Em] sending me tulips [C] mistaken [G] for lilies
You give [Em] me a lip at [F] the punch [D] and you sell it
[G] You turn [Em] my head [C] so it roll down the [G] brain drain
If I had any [Em] sense [F] now, I wouldn't want [D] it back [G] again
[A] You ask [Bb] for [Dm] damage, but you're [C] going much [G] too much
Till I [A] have [Bb] the [Am] possession of everything [G] she touches
Till I step off [Bb] the brake [Am] to get at [G] the clutches
Till I speak [Bb] double [Am]-dutch to a real [G] double-dutchess
Down on [Em] the [C] mainstay, listen to [G] the tick-tock
Like all [Em] the [F] faces that move [D] around your [G] block
Twice shy [Em] and guard [C]-tight because [G] you're a loser
Everything [Em] you say [F] now sounds like you're [D] just
[G] Ghostwritten, you ask [Bb] for [Am] damage, but you're going much [G] too much
Till I [A] have [Bb] the possession [Am] of everything [G] she touches
Till I [Bb] step off the brake [Am] to get at the [G] clutches
Till I [Bb] speak double-dutch [Am] to a real [G] double [Em]-dutchess
Back in London, they'll take [A] you to heart every [E] room you walk
But when I look right at home, [Am] I still feel like [D] an [C] exile
_ [Bm] [D] Somewhere _ [G] [Em] I found [C] myself down [G] at the dark side
Bringing [Em] back the old days [F] of [D] willow and rubber hide
[G] [Em] Transparent people [C] who live [G] on the other side
[Em] Living a life [F] that is [D] almost like [G] suicide
You [Bb] ask for damage, [Am] but you're going [G] much too much
Till I [Bb] have the possession [Am] of [G] everything she touches
Till I step [Bb] off the brake to [Am] get at [G] the clutches
Till I speak [Bb] double-dutch [Am] to a real [G] double-dutchess _ _ _ _ _
