A
Oh darling why d'you talk so fast
E
Another evening just flew past tonight

And now the daybreak's coming in
A
And I can't win and it ain't right

You tell me all you've done and seen
D
And all the places you have been without me

Well I don't really want to know
A
But I'll stay quiet and then I'll go
E A
And you won't have no cause to think about me

A D E A
There's a guy works down the chip shop swears he's Elvis
D E
Just like you swore to me that you'd be true
A D E F#min D
There's a guy works down the chip shop swears he's Elvis
A E A
But he's a liar and I'm not sure about you

A
Oh darling you're so popular
E
You were the best thing new in Hicksville

With your mohair suits and foreign shoes
A
Lou says you changed your pickup for a Seville

And now I'm lying here alone
D
'Cause you're out there on the phone to some star in New York

I can hear you laughing now
A
And I can't help feeling that somehow
E A
You don't mean anything you say at all

A D E A
There's a guy works down the chip shop swears he's Elvis
D E
Just like you swore to me that you'd be true
A D E F#min D
There's a guy works down the chip shop swears he's Elvis
A E A
But he's a liar and I'm not sure about you

A D E A D E A D E F#min D A E A
[lead]

A D E A
There's a guy works down the chip shop swears he's Elvis
D E
Just like you swore to me that you'd be true
A D E F#min D
There's a guy works down the chip shop swears he's Elvis
A E A
But he's a liar and I'm not sure about you
A E A
I said he's a liar and I'm not sure about you
A E F#min D
I said he's a liar and I'm not sure about yooooouuuuuuuu
A E A
He's a liar and I'm not sure about you
