D# 
   She wanted to test her husband 
C#            B2            D# 
   She knew exactly what to do 
    Bmaj7         G#m 
A pseudonym to fool him 
B                C#          D# 
   She couldn't have made a worse move 



D# 
   She sent him scented letters 
C#           B2                  D# 
   And he received them with a strange delight 
 Bmaj7       G#m 
Just like his wife 



B               C#             D# 
   But how she was before the tears 
G#m             C#/F           Eb/G 
   And how she was before the years flew by 
G#m             C#/F             B        B/A#  B 
   And how she was when she was beautiful 

She signed the letter

D# 
   She wanted to take it further 
C#           B2            D# 
   So she arranged a place to go 
 Bmaj7   G#m 
To see if he 
B              C#        D# 
   Would fall for her incognito 



D# 
   And when he laid eyes on her 
C#             B2              D# 
   He got the feeling they had met before 
   Bmaj7   G#m 
Uncanny how she 
B              C#             D# 
   Reminds him of his little lady 



G#m       C#/F            Eb/G 
   Capacity   to give him all he needs 
G#m               C#/F             Eb/G 
   Just like his wife before she freezed on him 
G#m               C#/F              B        B/A#  B 
   Just like his wife when she was beautiful 

He shouted out, I'm-
