Standard (EADGBE)

Verse

A♯Press the doorbell and pushF the door

G♯Climb the darkened stairwell to the second A♯floor

GmShe'll be waiting for you in her dressinCg-gown

GmWith the drink she poured you when she heard theC sound

A♯Watch the film, eat the foodF she cooked

G♯Talk of how the film ain't half as good asA♯ the book

GmKiss her sleepy eyes closed and say "it's Ctime"

CmTo slip beneath the shadows of the bedroom blinds F

Well it's alA♯ways a pleasure and never a Cmchore

But you juA♯st don't know whether you're doing it for the Gmright reasons Cm

GIt's cold for the sCmeason down in the street beloGmw

Before Chorus

Chorus

GmMen and women go about their business

GmPicking up the last few things for Christmas

CmTrying not to step upon the pigeons

CmPraying to the gods of their religions

CmThat they might be spared a little longer

CmThat they might become a little stronger

Dm7Down in the Cm7street beFlow

GmEverybody's on a secret mission

GmEverybody's got their own ambitions

GmThey would tell you if they thought you'd listen

CmThey would say how lately they've been wishing

CmFor the chance to meet a handsome stranger

CmLead a life of elegance and danger

Dm7Down in the Cm7street beFlow

Dm7Down in the Cm7street beFlow

Verse

A♯Way up high in a phallic Ftower

G♯You're swimming in a tiny galaxy of stars A♯

GmKnocking back mojitos at the cocktail baCr

GmTalking 'bout burritos and conceptual arCt

A♯Your armchair's round andF your glass is square

G♯The clientele's straight out of this monthA♯'s Vanity Fair

GmWell look around the place, something's noCt quite right

CmYours is the only face that you don't recognize F

Well it's always a pleasure and never a chore

But you just don't know whether you're doing it for the right reasons

It's cold for the season down in the street below
