Verse
D
We ate toast cut roughtly into halves
A
With sour jam in an empty bar
G
Large vases, filled with dead flowers
D A
And carved wood mirrors to show us our faces
D A
Blinking out sleep, unkempt, unshaved, unsound
G D
Round the back, slack-dressed, the chef lights a cigarette
A
Late for his shift again
G A D G
Who are you to tell me that I look depressed?
G A D G
You wouldn't know it but I'm at my best
D
I've got a little surprise up my sleeve
Bm
I've got a little surprise up my sleeve
A G D
I've got a little surprise up my sleeve

D
Shake open the pages, the yellowed slips of paper,
A
Flattened coffee stirrers, in the book on the table,
G
A ticket from the metro in Milan,
D A
A letter from Simon in Prospect Park, Brooklyn,
D
One cigarette paper, torn magazine cover,
A
One leaflet for Jesus and one Hare Krishna
G D A
All fall out onto the table
G A D G
Who are you to tell me that I look depressed?
G A D G
You wouldn't know it but I'm at my best
D
I've got a little surprise up my sleeve
Bm
I've got a little surprise up my sleeve
A G D
I've got a little surprise up my sleeve
