Intro: ( Am7 A6 ) x3 

     A                                    D/A          G 
So this is where she stands at night, on this cold avenue of lights 
     A                   B                F         G 
The reds and greens but mostly reds, for you he's stopping 
     A                                 D/A                G 
In seeing him she knows him less, his stick is wet she's half undressed 
     A                   B                F         G 
And all in all they're both obsessed with so much nothing 

A             F/A             A              F/A            A 
 I know it's hard for you to see what lies behind's a mystery 
                F/A                     A  G D/F# Em           D  A/C# G/B Am7  A6 Am7 A6 
If words could speak, they'd mean even less,     when the king is half undressed 

     A                                  D/A             G 
She dots her eyes with a smiley face, a work of art in all but taste 
     A                 B                   F       G 
The fool deserves the bed he's made where idiots slumber 
   A                             D/A                    G 
Divine she is to air his fate a crack of smile through all this hate 
       A               B                     F       G 
Means nothing more in this nervous state of so much nothing 

A             F/A             A              F/A            A 
 I know it's hard for you to see what lies behind's a mystery 
                F/A                     A  G D/F# Em           D  A/C# G/B A    E F 
If words could speak, they'd mean even less,     when the king is half undressed 

A E F   A E  F        A   E    F       A      E    F        A E   F  
       Blue autumns, sunshine kisses, hearts and flowers, broken wishes 

E  E7  E6  E Am/E  Adim7 Cdim7 Adim7 F#dim7 G E/G# A    G A 
 Ohh 

A             F/A             A              F/A            A 
 I know it's hard for you to see what lies behind's a mystery 
                F/A                     A  G                           A 
If words could speak, they'd mean even less, when the king is half undressed 
A             F/A             A              F/A            A 
 I know it's hard for you to see what lies behind's a mystery 
                F/A                     A  G D/F# Em           D  A/C# G/B F C/E 
If words could speak, they'd mean even less,     when the king is half undressed
