INTRO (x2): C#m-A B G#m A

            F# B G# A G#



        E                                   F#m

All the late night bargains have been struck

            B         C#m              B C#   

Between the satin beaus and their belles

F#m                       

Prehistoric garbage trucks

         Am

Have the city to themselves



E                          F#m

Echoes and roars, dinosaurs

            B         C#m         B C#

They're all doing the monster mash

    F#m

And most of the taxis, most of the whores

    Am

Are only taking calls for cash



A                   B

I don't know how it happened

   E                 A

It all took place so quick

    E           F#m B          C#m B

But all I can do is hand it to you



And your latest trick



INTRO



              E                     F#m

Well, now, my door was standing open

  B      C#m               B  C#

Security was laid back and lax

           F#m

But it was only my heart got a-broken

                    Am

You must have had a pass key made out of wax

           E                     

You played robbery with insolence

                 F#m                 B     C#m            B C#

And I played the blues in twelve bars down on Lover's Lane

        F#m

And you never did have the intelligence to use

           Am

The twelve keys hanging off of my chain



A                   B

I don't know how it happened

   E                 A

It all took place so quick

    E           F#m B          C#m B

But all I can do is hand it to you



And your latest trick



INTRO



                E                         F#m

Well, now, it's past last call for alcohol

     B          C#m               B C#

Past recall has been here and gone

    F#m

The landlord he finally paid us all

          Am

The satin jazzmen have put away their horns

          E                                  F#m

And we're standing outside of this wonderland

B          C#m             B     C#

Looking so bereaved and so bereft

       F#m

Like a Bowery bum when he finally understands

             Am

The bottle's empty and there's nothing left



A                   B

I don't know how it happened

       E                         A

It was faster than the eye could flick

    E           F#m B          C#m B

But all I can do is hand it to you



And your latest trick
