  			Bb                              Bbm7  
Every night around this time he has to sing 'Belinda'  
Eb                                              Eb/F  
"Belinda, I love you, don't leave me, I need you"  
Bb                                Bbm7  
He tried to stop a while back but what is he without her?  
Eb                               Eb/F   Eb      Eb/D  
A one hit wonder with no hits is what he is  

F/C                             D/F#  
And anyway, He always hears how much it means to people  
Gm7                                    C7  
There's a lot of forty somethings who wouldn't be in the world without it  
Bb/F                        F  
So now he does it with this lyric in his head  
Cm          Eb/Bb  
Belinda, I loved you  
F/A               Eb9/G  
I'm sorry that i left you  
Bb             Dm/A         Gm7   Bb/F  
I met somebody younger on a plane  
Cm/Eb                  Eb/Bb         F/A  
She had big breasts a nice smile no kids either  
      Abm7                 Bb/F  
She gave me complimentary champagne  

Eb9 C#  

Bb                        Bbm7  
No-one ever wants to hear the song he wrote for Cindy  
Eb                                      Eb       Eb/F  
"Cindy, I love you, I need you, don't leave me"  
Bb                                         Bbm7  
And he can't blame them, they can tell his heart was never in it  
Eb                                Eb/F      Eb       Eb/D  
And Cindy never liked it but she never much liked him  

Cm       Eb/Bb           F/A            Eb9/G  
Belinda, I loved you I'm sorry that I left you  
Bb             Dm/A         Gm7   Bb/F  
I met somebody younger on a plane  
          Cm/Eb          Eb/Bb            F/A  
She had big breasts a nice smile no kids either  
Abm7                       Bb/F  
She gave me complimentary champagne

Bb                                Bbm7  
So every night about this time he feels the old self loathing  
Eb                                            Eb/F  
While the old folks in the audience sing along  
Bb                                      Bbm7  
And he smiles and waves the mic at them so they can do the Chorus  
Ebm7                                 Eb/F  Eb Eb/D  
But he's not there, he's somewhere else  
Cm/Eb        Eb/Bb F/A  
He's with Belinda  
       Bb          Dm/A     Gm7         Bb/F  
In the days before he made it all go wrong  
Cm/Eb     Eb/Bb    F/A  
Belinda, I love you  
Abm7                          Bb/F  
She gave me complimentary champagne  
Abm7                          Bb/F  
She gave me complimentary champagne
