Standard Tuning

Capo 1


Intro/Chorus:

GIf I die a lonely death,

C                    CmI'm sure its from the cigarettes

  G     I smoked each day after you left me,

Cstanding all alone.

GAlone in my Park Avenue

C                      Cmapartment that smelled fresh and new

G                                  CThe extra set of keys from you are going to the maid.


Do the same thing for the next part!

The maid has been my only friend,
She's always there to apprehend.
The dust and grim that settles in around the crystal vase.

The crystal vase, a wedding gift,
that through the years has made the shift.
What once held flowers now holds ash,
from my two packs a day.

Verse 1:

            AmOoo baby she walks with a thorn on her side

         DmThem big sunglasses on her eyes

      Am                             DmAll the uptown girls say, "Hi, old woman"


Do the same thing for the next part!


"I can't take another day of this", she says.
"All I wanted was a drink and a kiss,
But I guess I'll just have to call on my bank 'cause its Swiss."

Pre-Chorus


   GShe never knew no better than to follow her nose


    CSo I ask for your forgiveness 'cause I'm part of the show.


               GNow she's gone and all she's left with is a house full of clothes


     C                                CmSometimes Madam it's OK to cry.

Chorus (first half):

If I die a lonely death,
I'm sure its from the cigarettes
I smoked each day after you left me,
standing all alone.

Alone in my Park Avenue
apartment that smelled fresh and new
The extra set of keys from you are going to the maid.


(interlude)

Verse 2 (like verse 1)

Well she's probably just a chip off the block,
You know like coffee from a coffee pot
Well at least she can get away for a while
And get some sun on that yacht.

Pre-Chorus


   GShe never knew no better than to follow her nose


    CSo I ask for your forgiveness 'cause I'm part of the show.


          GNow she's gone and all she's left with is a house full of clothes


     C                                CmSometimes Madam it's OK to cry.


Chorus

If I die a lonely death,
I'm sure its from the cigarettes
I smoked each day after you left me,
standing all alone.

Alone in my Park Avenue
apartment that smelled fresh and new
The extra set of keys from you are going to the maid.

The maid has been my only friend,
She's always there to apprehend.
The dust and grim that settles in around the crystal vase.

The crystal vase, a wedding gift,
that through the years has made the shift.
What once held flowers now holds ash,
from my two packs a day.
