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
