[Intro]
Bm A E F#
[Verse 1]
Bm A E F#
It doesn't matter what I say it doesn't matter what I do
Bm A E F#
It seems I'm going to have to change my look for you cos
Bm A E F#
I've got two shoes but they've been walked too far
Bm A E F#
And I think that we could float from evening to the stars
[Pre Chorus]
G
When I see you in the distance with your friends
E
I look around and then I look down at my threads
A
It's inappropriate that I should present like a
A7
Retired matador with unpaid rent
[Chorus]
D G D7/A
So many nights I'm still thinking about you
G D G D7/A
And so many nights you step in and I walk through
G D G D7/A G
So he doesn't care except he still combs his hair
D G D7/A G
So what am I supposed to do?
[Verse 2]
Bm A E F#
I bought a suit and I bought a top hat
Bm A E F#
And I put a red stripe down the side of my slacks
Bm A E F#
Went to the barber got my hair cut high
Bm A E F#
And I bought a ticket for the opera tonight
[Pre Chorus]
G
But when and I see you your bodice and your pride
E
It's nice to greet you with an interrupted stride, besides
A
You say 'Good evening' you don't say 'Goodnight'
A7
And I can't deny that
[Chorus]
D G D7/A
So many nights I'm still thinking about you
G D G D7/A
And so many nights until I changed my suit
G D G D7/A G
And when I'm bare don't need to comb my hair
D G D7/A G
Cos I found what to do
[Bridge]

Put your waistcoat ooooon ma ma ma ma ma ma ma
