Chords for Tears Before Bedtime -- Elvis Costello

_ _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F#] _
_ [A] _ I know the name on the tip of your tongue And I know that accusing look
Everybody knows I've been [Am] so wrong That's the problem and [E] here's the look
[Bm] Cheers, good [F#m] poppet time [B] There'll be trouble tonight
[F#] I don't wanna [A] talk about it anymore I [F#] don't wanna have it all
[D] I don't wanna talk about what I've done [E] Can I be for [A] a break? _ _ _ _ _
_ All the tears that you've [Am] blew There can be [A] no defense
You say you'll forgive and forget But [F#] it's only a [D] pretense
Cheers, [B] good poppet [C#m] time [E] There'll be trouble [A] tonight
I [F#] don't wanna talk about [A] it anymore I don't wanna have it all
I don't wanna talk about what [E] I've done Can I be for a break?
[A] _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ [Bm] Either you can [C#m] leave the past behind [F#] Or [G#] give me something [A] to disconnect [F#m] my mind
[D] _
[Bm] I'll sleep [C#] with my fist [Bm] clenched tight [F#m] _ [G#] When I hide out [A] all night
_ _ [G] _ _
I've [E] been tangled up in those [A] feelings _ _ And the balance [E] of a love
Very sometimes I hate [A]
Knowing your suspiciousness
Thought you'd be a threat But I can't excuse those cruel words
That I use whenever we [D] fight
Cheers, [B] good poppet time There'll [E] be trouble [A] tonight
I don't wanna [E] talk about it [Em] anymore I don't wanna have it all
[D] I don't wanna talk about what I've [E] done Can I be for a break?
[D] How long can I be [E] _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ [Am] before [F#] _ I am right?
_ [A] I don't wanna talk about what I've done Can [F#] I be for a break?
[A] I don't wanna [E] talk about what I've done [Am] Can I be [A] for a break?
I don't wanna talk about what I've done Can I be for a break?
I don't wanna talk about what I've done Can I be for a break?
I don't wanna talk about what I've done Can I be for a break?
