Man Out of Time Elvis Costello
So this is where[E] he came to hide[B] [E]
[E]When he ran from you[B] [E]
[E]In a private detective overcoat
[F#m]And dirty dead men's shoes
[E]The pretty things of Knightsbridge[B] [E]
[E]Lying for of Minister of State[B] [E]
[E]Are a far cry from the nod and wink
Here at Tr[F#m]aitors' Gate
'Cause the [G#m]high heel he used to be has [C#m]been ground down
And he [F#sus4]listens for the footsteps
[E/B]That would follow him ar[B7]ound
[E]To murder -[F#m] my love - is a c[G#m]rime[E]
But [F#m]will [G#m]you st[A]ill[F#/A#] love [Bsus4]- a ma[G#/B#]n out o[C#m]f tim[A]e[E]
[E]There's a tupenny ha'ppenny millionair[B]e[E]
[E]Looking for a fourpenny one[B] [E]
[E]With a tight grip on the short hairs
Of the p[F#m]ublic imagination
[E]But for his private wife and kids some[B]how[E]
Real l[E]ife becomes a rumour[B] [E]
Days [E]of Dutch courage, just three French letters
And a G[F#m]erman sense of humor
[G#m]He's got a mind like a sewer and a [C#m]heart like a fridge
He [F#sus4]stands to be insulted
And he [E/B]pays for the privi[B7]lege
[E]To murder -[F#m] my love - is a c[G#m]rime[E]
But [F#m]will [G#m]you st[A]ill[F#/A#] love [Bsus4]- a ma[G#/B#]n out o[C#m]f tim[A]e[E]
[E]The biggest wheels of industry[B] [E]
[E]Retire sharp and short[B] [E]
[E]And after the dinner overtures
[F#m]Are nothing but an afterthought
[E]Somebody's creeping in the kitchen[B] [E]
The[E]re's a reputation to be made[B] [E]
[E]Whose nerves are always on the knife's edge
And [F#m]who's up late polishing the blade
[G#m]Love is always scarpering or co[C#m]wering or fawning
You[F#sus4] drink yourself insensitive
And h[E/B]ate yourself in the mor[B7]ning
[E]To murder -[F#m] my love - is a c[G#m]rime[E]
But [F#m]will [G#m]you st[A]ill[F#/A#] love [Bsus4]- a ma[G#/B#]n out o[C#m]f tim[A]e[E]
