A Asus4/G
Just a minute of your time
F#m E7 D5
Yes I've been known to delude myself
So let me put those rose
E7
Colored glasses to the test
A E7/G#
Now, is this real enough for you?
F#m E7
'Cause blondes here don't jump out of cakes
D5
If that never impressed you much
E7
Come board this lunatic express
A E7/G# F#m E
Just why...... do they say
A E7/G# F#m E
"Have a nice day," anyway?
G D9
We both know they wouldn't mind
F#m E D9
If I just curled up and died
E7
Oh, let's not give that one a try
D9
Chin up, put on a pair of these roseys
D4
Raise those blinds
D9
Chin up, a happy mask was never
D4
Your best disguise
D9
Chin up, put on a pair of these roseys
D4
In no time
F#m Bm C9
You will feel almost fine, almost
A4
rosey
E7/G#
Uh, uh, oh
Asus4/G D9/F#
Hey, hey, hey
A E7/G#
Now some girls here will huddle with
F#m E7
No, not footballers that are rich
D5
But will confide in small white sticks
E7
He bats as The Virginian Slim
A Asus4/G
Then I tried once to comply
F#m E7
With an authority that would
D5
Subsidise my wild side
E7
But at this altar was sacrificed
A E7/G#
Yes, you can laugh a femme fatale
F#m E7
In a bride's dress now married to
D5
The effortlessness of the cracks
E7
That lie now in between the facts
A E7/G# F#m E
Just why...... do they say
A E7/G# F#m E
"Have a nice day," anyway?

Uh, uh, oh
Asus4/G D9/F#
Hey, hey, hey
A E7/G#
Now about when Violet died
F#m E7
The cause still unidentified
D5
She thought her love would be enough
E7
But you can't seduce seduction
A Asus4/G
Her tentacles of endless won't
F#m E7
Reach through my corridors
D5
And tempt me to taste of her power
E7
I sober with the witching hour
A4 E7/G#
And when I hear of one more bomb
F#m E7
Yes, we have all been robbed of song
D5 E7
And nightingales who throw their arms up
When is enough enough?
A E7/G# F#m E
Just why...... do they say
A E7/G# F#m E
"Have a nice day," anyway?
