Verse: 1 
G 

I came in from the outside 

G 

Burnt out from the joy ride 

G               D             C 

She likes to roll here in my ashes anyway 


G 
Played from the bedside 


G 
Is "Stella By Starlight" 

G         D 
"That Was My Heart"... 

               C                    Em 

The drums that start off "Night And Day" 


Pre-Chorus: 1

Em              Bm      C          G 

The same kind of music haunts her bedroom 

Em         D          C 

I'm almost me again, she's almost you 


Em     C         G 

I wouldn't know where to start 

         Bm   C                G

Be still "My Foolish Heart,"

Don't ruin this on me

Don't ruin this on me 



Verse: 2 

G 
Tell me who, and I'll be thanking them 
            C 

The numbered lovers of Duke Ellington 

      Em       D                       C 
Do I owe each kiss to lip and cheek as soft 
                 G 

As Chet can sing "Let's Get Lost" 


And "Let The Good Times Roll" 

C    G 
Let "Smoke Rings" from this "Paper, Doll" 

       Em        D 
Blow sweet and thick 'til every thought of 

C 

"It Don't Mean A Thing" 


Pre-Chorus: 2 
Em             Bm           C              G 

I've got some colour back, she thinks so, too 

   Em         D                    C 
I laugh like me again, she laughs like you

Bridge 

G                Em 

I wouldn't know where 

C               G 

I wouldn't know where

"I Get Along Without You Very Well," some other nights

The radio news reader chimes 

    C 
Reporting "Russian Lullabies"
