Verse 1]
 G                          C 
I came in from the outside
 G 
Burnt out from the joy ride
 Bm7                           C 
She likes to roll here in my ashes anyway
 G                       C 
Played from the bedside
 G                     C 
Is "Stella By Starlight"
 Bm7 
"That Was My Heart"...
                 C 
The drums that start off "Night And Day"

[Pre-Chorus 1]
 Em7              E7sus2  C          G 
The same kind of music haunts her bedroom

[Verse 2]
 G                                 C 
Tell me who, and I'll be thanking them
 G 
The numbered lovers of Duke Ellington
     Bm7                               C 
Do I owe each kiss to lip and cheek as soft
                             G 
As Chet can sing "Let's Get Lost"
                            C 
And "Let The Good Times Roll"
      G 
Let "Smoke Rings" from this "Paper, Doll"
      Bm7 
Blow sweet and thick 'til every thought of

"It Don't Mean A Thing"

[Pre-Chorus 2]
 Em7           E7sus2       C              G 
I've got some colour back, she thinks so, too
 Em7          E7sus2     C 
I laugh like me again, she laughs like you

        Bm7                    C 
"I Get Along Without You Very Well," some other nights
      G                       C 
The radio news reader chimes
    G 
Reporting "Russian Lullabies"

She'll turn to me awake and ask, Is everything "Alright"
