[C#] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _
There's no tick tock [B] on your electric [G] clock
[A] But still your [C#m] life runs down
There's no tick tock on [B] your electric clock
[A] But still your [C#m] life runs down _ _
[E] _ _ [F#m] _ _ [G#] _ _ [A] _ _
[E] _ _ [F#m] _ _ [G#m] _ _ _ [F#m] _
[E] I'm halfway [F#] to heaven
[G#] And my home [A] in Forest Hills
[B] It's half past [C#m] eleven
[D] I've got [C#] some [B] time to kill
[E] I miss my bus [F#m] connection
[G#m] My train got [A] in too late
[B] And I'm forced into [C#m] reflection
[D] By this [C#m] half [A] hour wait
_ [E] Now I have been [F#m] a straight man
[C#m] And ablated by [A] the rules
[B] I've been a good man, a [C#] good husband
[D] A good [C#m] old [B] fashioned fool
[E] I have a fine wife [F#m] and two children
[E] Just like [A] everybody's got
[B] But after fifteen [C#m] years of marriage
[D] The [A] fires don't burn too hot
_ _ _ _ Someone played [E] a trick on me
[G#] They set me up so [C#m] perfectly
[A] They gave me their [E] morality
[G#] And then changed [C#m] the rules they set for [A] me
Someone [E] must be laughing now
[G#] Although [C] it don't seem [C#m] funny [A] somehow
How [E] the world's accepting [G#] now
What they [C#m] once would not [F#] allow
Back in my younger days
[B] The world has changed
[E] In so many ways
My mother once said to me
[F#m] So many years ago [G#] now
Don't you touch [A] those bad [G#m] girls
So I [A] never had girls
[G#m] Until I had [A] my Mary
[D] When we married
_ [G#m] My Mary then [A] had my two sons
[G#m] My life as a lover [A] was already done
[G#m] It was over [A] before it [D] had really [A] begun
Someone _ _ played [E] a trick on me
[G#] They sent this little [C#m] girl to me
[A] She is my [E] new secretary
[G#] And [C#m] she's something to see
She's [F#] a nice girl
But [B] it's a young world
And [E] she lives her life [A] so free
[E] And she sure gets through [A] to me
[E] _
[A] She _ [G] _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ [E] brings her pad into [F#m] my office
She [G#m] wears a sweater and [A] a skirt
[B] Somewhere deep [C#m] inside of me
[D] Something [B] starts to hurt
[E] She's wearing [F#m] nothing underneath
[G#m] I can see what [A] there's to see
[B] She smiles and says [C#m] you wanted me
[D] I'd have [A] to agree
_ You _ know how [E] much I want her
[G#] And I know that [C#m] I could have her
[A] I [E] know I could, [C#m] I know she would
Make love to me
So wonderfully _ _ goddamned
[F#] I'm one crazy [B] mixed up mixture
[C#m] Of a man _ _ _
_ [E] In my head all my life
I've been a sinner
[A] And [E] in my bed with just my [A] wife
[E] I'm still a [A] beginner
[E] But [A] tomorrow night
[E] I'm taking [F#m] that little [C#] girl out to dinner
