(Intro) 

A C (x4 bars) 

(verse 1) 

       A            C           
It was early in the morning,  
         A               C 
We were sitting on the stoop,  
         A              C 
There wheeled away a starling 
        A                   C 
And I thought that I would too. 
A      C          A      C 
Ohhhhhh for all I knew,  
       A    C          A      C 
I was lost through and through,  


(Bridge) 

        A       C        A      C 
In my high heels and my old dress 
        A       C        A  C     A C       A C       A C       A C 
With my new keys in the wrong     city........................... 


[Refrão]

C  B     A 
I tie the knots to remember in my  
  C    B      A 
heart.  So I choke and I sputter to a  
C      B     A 
stop.   I am a borrower and lender of  
     C      B     A 
the lot. 


(verse 2) 

A C (x2) 

  A            C 
I walk away asleep 
     A                          C 
And chalk an outline round the scene. 
      A                 C 
This shadow play of whiskey talk,  
    A            C 
A heavy denier dream. 
A   C      A      C 
Ohhhh let it be,  
      A  C       A           C 
I was lost in him and me.

        A       C        A      C

        A       C        A  C     A C       A C       A C       A C 
With my new keys in the wrong     city................city...........
