Georgie and Her Rival Elvis Costello
"Georgie And Her Rival" (Capo: 3rd. fret)
___Intro:
[C6] [C6] [D]
___Verse: 1
[E]Georgie grew to hate her name
it [A]sounded like a [B6]tiny man
and the [Emaj7]one she had said "I can't see you,
[A] but I'll call you[E] when___[B/D#]ever I___[A/C#]can"
sometimes the phone would [E6]ring, when [B]she was half__a[A6]_sleep
a voice would [E6]drag her down with [B]it's suggestion[A]s
though she often felt [E]cheated___,[C] she [Em7]never felt___ch[Dmaj7]eap
___Chorus:
[F#m] Well heaven knows what fi___lls the heart
[G] and makes you feel [Bm]so___alive
[A] It's impossible to [C#m]tear___apart
[Cmaj7]Geor__gie__[Am7]and__her__ri____v[D]al
___Verse: 2
[Emaj7]It was half___past Fe__bruary
and he [A]hadn't called since [B6]New Year's Day
[Emaj7]Maybe he'd found ano[E6]___ther woman
to [A]say those words no [E]chapel [B/D#]girl should [A/C#]say
her mother would ph[Emaj7]one and [B]always keep her [A6]talking
she'd try to be po[E]lite, [B]making fa[A]__ces
but somewhere in the [E]back of her mind, [Cmaj7]her ri___[Am7]val was stal__[Dmaj7]king
___Chorus:
[F#m] Well heaven knows what fi___lls the heart
[G] and makes you feel [Bm]so___alive
[A] It's impossible to [C#m]tear___apart
[Cmaj7]Geor__gie__[Am7]and__her__ri____[D]val
___Bridge:
[G#m] Her rival would [Emaj7]al__ways wait___
[C#m7] till the [G#m7]eighth or ni[Eb]___nth bell___
[G#m] he'd be desperate [E]an___yway and[A/C#] drunk as w[D6]ell_[Dmaj7]_____
she [Bm]always liked to hur[Bm/A]t__him___to [G#dim7]prove he was prepa[E7]___red
to [Bm]love her an__yw[Bm/A]ay__that she wan[G#dim7]___ted
so she [E]could tell____[C6]which she pre[D]ferred
___Verse: 3
[Emaj7]He sat up with his address book
[A]trying to think what [B6]mood___he's in
his [Emaj7]finger traced past Georgie's name
to [A]someone who needed [C#m]less persu[Bmaj7]a__ding
C#m (ch)Emaj7/B(/ch) A E
He did__n't hear__through her__disguise__
he [Amaj7]didn't leave her [E]in a [B]rush
just [E6]like the pro__mise that he left on [A]her__machine
that [E]al__most [B]made__her [A]blush
the radio plays a [E]lover's [B]symphony__
[A] the number you have [E/B]dialed has been re-directed
[A] now she puts him on the [E]speaker-phone___
when[C6]e__ver__she__has__[Em]com___pa[Dmaj7]ny___
___Chorus:
[F#m] Well heaven knows what fi___lls the heart
[G] and makes you feel [Bm]so___alive
[A] It's impossible to [C#m]tear___apart
