ESo this is where he came to hide B E
EWhen he ran from you B E
EIn a private detective overcoat
F#mAnd dirty dead men's shoes
EThe pretty things of Knightsbridge B E
ELying for of Minister of State B E
EAre a far cry from the nod and wink
Here at TrF#maitors' Gate
'Cause the G#mhigh heel he used to be has C#mbeen ground down
And he F#sus4listens for the footsteps
E/BThat would follow him arB7ound
ETo murder -F#m my love - is a cG#mrime E
F#m G#m A F#/A# Bsus4 G#/B# C#m A E
But will you still love - a man out of time
EThere's a tupenny ha'ppenny millionairBe E
ELooking for a fourpenny one B E
EWith a tight grip on the short hairs
Of the pF#mublic imagination
EBut for his private wife and kids someBhowE
Real lEife becomes a rumour B E
Days Eof Dutch courage, just three French letters
And a GF#merman sense of humor
G#mHe's got a mind like a sewer and a C#mheart like a fridge
He F#sus4stands to be insulted
And he E/Bpays for the priviB7lege
ETo murder -F#m my love - is a cG#mrime E
F#m G#m A F#/A# Bsus4 G#/B# C#m A E
But will you still love - a man out of time
EThe biggest wheels of industry B E
ERetire sharp and short B E
EAnd after the dinner overtures
F#mAre nothing but an afterthought
ESomebody's creeping in the kitchen B E
TheEre's a reputation to be made B E
EWhose nerves are always on the knife's edge
And F#mwho's up late polishing the blade
G#mLove is always scarpering or coC#mwering or fawning
YouF#sus4 drink yourself insensitive
And hE/Bate yourself in the morB7ning
ETo murder -F#m my love - is a cG#mrime E
F#m G#m A F#/A# Bsus4 G#/B# C#m A E
But will you still love - a man out of time
