[G#] [F]
[Fm] I used [B] to visit all the [C#] very gay [B] places, [F] those [C#] come what may [B] [F#m] places, [C#] where one relaxes on
the [F#m] axis of the wheel of life [B] to get [Fm] the feel of life [E] from jazz [C#m] and cocktails.
[E] The [Fm] girls I [F#m] knew had [C#] sat and sullen [B] gray places with [C#] distant gay [B] traces [D#] that [C#] used to [F#] be there
you could [G#] see [F#] where [G#] they'd been washed [B] away by too [Fm] many through the [D] day.
Twelve o'clock [C#] tail.
[F#] [A#m] [A] [Fm] Then you came along with your siren song to tempt me to [G] madness.
[A]
I [D] thought for a while [Fm] that your poignant smile [F#] was tinged [A] with the sadness [C#] of a gray
love for [F] [C#] me.
[D]
Ah yes, I was [F#] wrong.
[A] [F#m] Again, I [C#] was [D#m] [A#m] wrong.
[Bm] [E] [C#]
Life [E] is lonely.
[Fm] Again, [Bm] [E] and only last [C#] year, [A]
[F#m] everything [E] seemed so sure.
[G#] Now [E] life is [D] awful.
[C#]
Again, [Bm] a [E] chaff full [C#] of hearts [G#m] [F#] could only [C] be a bore.
[F] [C#]
[G#] A week [C#] in Paris [D#] [Cm] leaves [G] the bite [Em] of it.
[D] All I [Dm]
care [G] is to smile [Fm] in [F#] spite of it.
[C#]
I'll [Bm] forget [E] you, [G#] I [C#] will, [E] while yet [C#] you are still [C] [B] burning [Fm] inside my [F#] [G] brain.
[F#m] Romance [C#] is [A] mush, stifling those [F] who strive.
[F#m] [C#] I'll [D#m] live a [G#] lush life [Fm] in some small [Bm]
dive.
[C#m] And there [B] I'll [C#] be [F#] [A] while I rot with the [F]
rest [B] of [C] those [C#] whose [A#] [G] lives [Cm] are [F#] lonely [C#] [C#m] too.
