Costello)
Transcribed by D. W. Bennett
Intro: C F C Csus4 Ab G
CTears on your Fblackmail
AmWritten to Dmransom
CA point of the Ffingernail
AmSays that he's Dmhandsome
CClowntime is Fover
AbTime to take Fcover
CWhile others just Ftalk and talk
AmSomebody's Dmwatching where the others don't Gwalk
GClowntime is overC
A voice in the shadows
Says that his men know
He don't step back as expected
He's otherwise and unprotected
Chorus
CAlmost too Fgood to be true
AmWho do you? Dmwhy do you? what do you do?
CWhile everybody's Fhiding under covers
Am Dm Dm/E Dm/F G
Who's making lover's lane safe again for lovers?
Chorus
I like to end with the intro followed by a sustained C12 (open C chord with a
high G added) chord.
