[C]Here's one of the [G/B]two of us
[Am7]In 1954 [F]don't laugh
I ke[C]ep all of the pictures
Are you [G]going to take a photograph
[C]Here's something [Esus4]nice for [E]you
[Am]A dear old thing came to a[F] show
[C]Last time here we did
An intervie[G]w on local radio
[D5]Make yourself at home my [Dsus2]darling
[F]Come on [G]in
[D5]Hand me down that ja[Am]r love
Can I [F]offer you a[Bbmaj7] gin[Bb6] [Am/G] [G]
[C]We're proud to be the [G/B]oldest
Ugly [Am7]sisters in [F]variety
There's[C] not the glamor now you see
What [G]happened to society
[C]There's another l[Esus4]ight bulb[E] gone
[Am]They don't all answer [F]to the switch
I d[C]on't know how we carry on
And [G]her she couldn't care the bitch
[D5]But in a while the old[Dsus2] boys
In the [F]band begin to [G]play
And [D5]in a while the h[Am]ouselights
And the [F]curtains slide [Bbmaj7]away[Bb6] [Am/G] [G]
And [C]something's going to happen
To make your [C]whole life better
Your [C/Bb]whole life better one [F]day
[C]Something's going to happen
To make your w[Esus4]hole li[E]fe b[Am]etter
Your w[C]hole life [G]better one day

Now the [C]landlady's all [G/B]squared away
It's j[Am7]ust a temporary [F]deal
I'm [C]afraid tonight it's take-away
You [G]see there is no evening meal
[C]Don't worry dear you[Esus2] shall [E]go to the[Am] ball
I think the [F]fairy said
These [C]suitcases have seen it all
From [G]under someone else's bed
You w[D5]ant to smile those tears[Dsus2] away
Now [F]don't you c[G]ry
You [D5]want to know what [Am]I say
I[F] say never say [Bbmaj7]die[Bb6] [Am/G] [G]
'Cos [C]something's going to happen
To make your [C]whole life better
Your [C/Bb]whole life better one [F]day
S[C]omething's going to happen
To make your [Esus4]whole li[E]fe be[Am]tter
Your [C]whole life [G]better one day
