^A#Press the d^Foorbell and push the door ^G#Climb the darke^A#ned stairwell to the second floor ^GmShe'll be wa^Citing for you in her dressing-gown ^GmWith the drink^C she poured you when she heard the sound

^A#Watch the fi^Flm, eat the food she cooked ^G#Talk of how th^A#e film ain't half as good as the book ^GmKiss her sleep^Cy eyes closed and say "it's time" ^CmTo slip beneath th^Fe shadows of the bedroom blinds

Well it's al^A#ways a plea^Cmsure and never a chore But ^A#you just don't^Gm know whethe^Cmr you're doing it for the right reasons ^GIt's cold for the s^Cmeason down^Gm in the street below

^GmMen and women go about their business ^GmPicking up the last few things for Christmas ^CmTrying not to step upon the pigeons ^CmPraying to the gods of their religions ^CmThat they might be spared a little longer ^CmThat they might become a little stronger ^Dm7Down in the ^Cm7street be^Flow

^GmEverybody's on a secret mission ^GmEverybody's got their own ambitions ^GmThey would tell you if they thought you'd listen ^CmThey would say how lately they've been wishing ^CmFor the chance to meet a handsome stranger ^CmLead a life of elegance and danger ^Dm7Down in the ^Cm7street be^Flow ^Dm7Down in the ^Cm7street be^Flow

VERSE

^A#Way up high in a phallic ^Ftower ^G#You're swimming^A# in a tiny galaxy of stars ^GmKnocking bac^Ck mojitos at the cocktail bar ^GmTalking 'bou^Ct burritos and conceptual art

^A#Your armchair's round and^F your glass is square ^G#The clientele'^A#s straight out of this month's Vanity Fair ^GmWell look arou^Cnd the place, something's not quite right ^CmYours is the only ^Fface that you don't recognize

Well it's always a pleasure and never a chore But you just don't know whether you're doing it for the right reasons It's cold for the season down in the street below
