E B ESo this is where he came to hide
E B EWhen he ran from you
EIn a private detective overcoat
F#mAnd dirty dead men's shoes
E B EThe pretty things of Knightsbridge
E B ELying for of Minister of State
EAre a far cry from the nod and wink
F#mBere at Traitors' Gate
G#m C#m'Cause the high heel he used to be has been ground down
F#sus4And he listens for the footsteps
E/B B7That would follow him around
E F#m G#m ETo murder - my love - is a crime
F#m G#m A F#/A# Bsus4 G#/B# C#m A EBut will you still love - a man out of time
E B EThere's a tupenny ha'ppenny millionaire
E B ELooking for a fourpenny one
EWith a tight grip on the short hairs
F#mOf the public imagination
E B EBut for his private wife and kids somehow
E B EReal life becomes a rumour
EDays of Dutch courage, just three French letters
F#mAnd a German sense of humor
G#m C#mBe's got a mind like a sewer and a heart like a fridge
F#sus4Be stands to be insulted
E/B B7And he pays for the privilege
E F#m G#m ETo murder - my love - is a crime
F#m G#m A F#/A# Bsus4 G#/B# C#m A EBut will you still love - a man out of time
E B EThe biggest wheels of industry
E B ERetire sharp and short
EAnd after the dinner overtures
F#mAre nothing but an afterthought
E B ESomebody's creeping in the kitchen
E B EThere's a reputation to be made
EWhose nerves are always on the knife's edge
F#mAnd who's up late polishing the blade
G#m C#mLove is always scarpering or cowering or fawning
F#sus4You drink yourself insensitive
E/B B7And hate yourself in the morning
E F#m G#m ETo murder - my love - is a crime
F#m G#m A F#/A# Bsus4 G#/B# C#m A EBut will you still love - a man out of time
