Suit of Lights Elvis Costello
[C]While Nat[G/B] King Cole s[F/A]ings "Welcome [C/G]To My World"
[F]You request some [C/E]song you hate you [Dm]sentimental [E]fool
And [Em]it's the force of [Am]habit
If it [Em]moves then you fuck it
If it [Am]doesn't move you stab it
And I [C]thought I [G/B]heard "The [F/A]Working Man's [C/G]Blues"
[F]He went out to [C/E]work that night and [Dm]wasted his [E7]breath
[Em]Outside there was a [Am]public execution
[Em]Inside he died a thou[Am]sand deaths
And they [C]pulled him [G/B]out of the [F/A]cold cold [C/G]ground
And they [C]pulled him [G/B]out of the [F/A]cold cold [C/G]ground
And they [C]pulled him [G/B]out of the [C/Bb]cold cold [F/A]ground
[C/G]And they put him in a [G]suit of [C]lights[G/B] [F/A] [C/G] [F] [C/E] [Dm] [C]
In the [C]perfo[G/B]rated [F/A]first [C/G]editions
Where they [F]advo[C/E]cate the [Dm]hangman's [E]noose
Then [Em]tell the sorry tale of the [Am]spent Princess
Her [Em]uncouth escort loo[Am]king down her dress
[C]Anyway they[G/B] say that[F/A] she wears the[C/G] trousers
And [F]learnt every[C/E]thing that she [Dm]does
And [E7]doesn't know if [C]she [G/B]should [C/Bb]tell him [F]yes[C/E]
(ch)F/Eb(/ch) Gsus Gsus G
Or let him go
And they [C]pulled him [G/B]out of the [F/A]cold cold [C/G]ground
And they [C]pulled him [G/B]out of the [F/A]cold cold [C/G]ground
And they [C]pulled him [G/B]out of the [C/Bb]cold cold [F/A]ground
[C/G]And they put him in a [G]suit of li[C]ghts
Well it's a [G]dog's life in a [F]ro[C/E]pe l[G/D]eash[C] or a [G]diamond collar[G]
It's [G]enough to make you [F]think [C/E]right [G/D]now[C]
But [F]you don't bother[F]
For [C]goodness [G/B]sake as you [F/A]cry and [C/G]shake
Let's [F]keep you [C/E]face down [Dm]in the dirt where [E7]you belong
C G/B C/Bb F C/E (ch)F/Eb(/ch) Gsus4
And think of all the pleasure that it brings
Though you [Gsus4]know that it's [G]wrong
And [G]there's still life in your [F]bo[C/E]dy
[G/D]But [C]most [G]of it's leaving[G]
[G]Can't you give us [F]all[C/E] a b[G/D]reak[C]
Can't [F]you stop breathing[F]
And I [C]thought I [G/B]heard "The [F/A]Working Man's [C/G]Blues"
[F]I went to [C/E]work last night and [Dm]wasted my [E]breath
[Em]Outside they're painting [Am]tar on somebody
[Em]It's the closest [Am]to a work of art that they will [Gsus4]ever b[G]e
And they [C]pulled [G/B]him out of the [F/A]cold cold [C/G]ground
And they [C]pulled [G/B]him out of the [F/A]cold cold [C/G]ground
And they [C]pulled [G/B]him out of the [C/Bb]cold cold [F/A]ground
[C/G]And they put him in a [G]suit of [C]lights
repeat ...
[C/G]And they put him in a [G]suit of [C]lights[G/B] [F/A] [C/G] [F] [C/E] [Dm] [C]
[C] [G/B] [F/A] [C/G] [F] [C/E] [Dm] [C]
