G Press the doorbell and D push the door
F Climb the darkened stairwell to the G second floor
Em She’ll be waiting for you in her A dressing gown
Em With the drink she poured you when she A heard the sound

G Watch the film, eat the D/F# food she cooked
F Talk of how the film ain’t half as G good as the book
Em Kiss her sleepy eyes closed and A say “it’s time”
To Am7 slip beneath the shadows of the D4 bedroom D blinds

Well, it’s G always a pleasure
and Am7 never a chore
But you G/B just don’t know whether
you’re C doing it forthe C/B right Am reasons
E it’s cold for the Am/C season
F Down in the street be-Em low Em

G Men and women go about their business
Am Picking up the last few things for Christmas
D Trying not to step upon the pigeons
Em Praying to the gods of their religion
Am That they might be spared a little longer
Em That they might become a little stronger
Bm7 Down Am7 … in the street be-D low D7

G Everybody’s on a secret mission
Am Everybody’s got their own ambitions
D They would tell you if they thought you’d listen
Em They would say how lately they’ve been wishing
Am For the chance to meet a handsome stranger
Em Lead a life of a elegance and danger
C Down Bm7 … in the street be-F#m low
Fmaj7 Down Em7 … in the street be-D4 low D

G Way up high in a D phallic tower
You’re F swimming in a tiny gala-G xy of stars
Em Knocking back mojitos at the A cocktail bar
Em Talking ’bout burritos and con-A ceptual art

Your G armchair’s round and your D/F# glass is square
The F clientele’s straight ouf of this month’s G Vanity Fair
Well Em look around the place, something’s A not quite right
Yours Am7 is the only face that you don’t D4 recog-D nize

Well, it’s G always a pleasure and Am7 never a chore
But you G/B just don’t know whether you’re C doing it for
the C/B right Am reasons… E it’s cold for the Am/C season
D7 Down in the street be-G low Am7 G/B
C Down in the street be-G low Am7 G/B C

Well, it’s G always a pleasure and Am7 never a chore
But you G/B just don’t know whether you’re C doing it for
the C/B right Am reasons… E it’s cold for the Am/C season
F Down in the street be-Em low
