Elvis Costello - Under lime

It's a ^Clong way down from the ^Bbsus2high horse you're on When you s^Ftumble and then you're ^Gsus4thrown And the ^Clast time we say him he was ^Bbsus2out in the rain ^EmWatchin' that ^Amtrain ^Emroll down the ^Amtrack ^EmNow he's back in ^Amshowbiz ^Emtrying make a ^Amcomeback

We ^Cknow that he's desperate and we ^Bbsus2know that he's broke He's the ^Fmystery guest we'll ^Gsus4puncture They told a ^Cyoung girl with a clipboard "Just ^Bbsus2keep him amused" "Wha^Emtever you ^Amdo, don't ^Emtell him your ^Amname" "Wha^Emtever you ^Amsay, ^Emdon't let him ^Amdrink" Under ^Bblime, under lime, under ^Glime

He ^Ebwhistles ^Dmout of tune his ^Ebwords don't ^Ebmalways ^Bbrhyme But ^Ebwe will ^Dmbe right back, we're ^Ebalmost ^Ebmout of ^Bbtime

Down a long corridor he's ^G#trying ^F#to ^Fimpr^Bbess He was helpin' a showgirl ^G#fasten ^F#up ^Fher ^Bbdress And the clock on the wall tick-^G#tocked the ^F#time ^Faw^Bbay

In the ^Cviolent strip of an ^Bbsus2undressing room She ^Floosened his grip and s^Gsus4tarted ^CTell me your story, if you ^Bbsus2feel so inclined ^EmHe was a ^Ammess, ^Emalmost re^Amsigned ^EmThough she could ^Amguess, ^EmI think you will ^Amfind She ^Bbthought, "Oh you know, I wouldn't ^Gmind"

He ^Ebasked her ^Dmboyfriend's name then ^Ebher whole ^Ebmfamily ^Bbtree She ^Ebthought "I ^Dmcan't believe it's ^Ebhappe^Ebmning to ^Bbme"

And upset, said "Hey pet: would you ^G#kindly ^F#pass ^Fthat ^Bbpill And allow me to just dic^G#tate my ^F#dyi^Fng ^Bbwill" And the clock on the wall tick-^G#tocked the ^F#time ^Faw^Bbay

^CJimmy was dreamin' as she ^Bbsus2uncrossed her legs He ^Fshuttered his eyes dis^Gsus4creetly And he ^Cthought of a drummer and con^Bbsus2sidered a snare But the ^Embeat of his ^Amheart said, "^EmDon't even s^Amtart" His ^Emconscience was ^Ambare, it said, "^EmHey, don't even ^Amdare" ^BbShe's completely una^Gware

She ^Ebforced a ^Dmlaugh or a sigh at ^Ebevery ^Ebmalib^Bbi Once ^Ebevery ^Dmcrime was confessed he ^Ebbuttoned ^Ebmup his ^Bbvest

Said "Hey gal, you'r a pal, you've ^G#really ^F#been ^Fa s^Bbport And you don't get a record ^G#if you ^F#never ^Fget ^Bbcaught" And the clock on the wall tick-^G#tocked the ^F#time ^Faw^Bbay
