DThis is hell, thAis is hell,G I am sorry tEmo tell you
It nevDer gets better oAr worse Em7 A
DBut you get used to Ait, after aG spell Em
For heaven Dis hell in AreverseCadd9
The bruiserG spun a hula hoop
As all the barmen D/Apreen and pout
The neon &Gquot;I" of "night club" flickers
D/AOn an off and finally blew out C
The irritating jingle of the Ambelly dancing phoney turkish girl C
The eerie glare of ultraviolet peAmrfect dental work
DThis is helAl, I am sorGry to tell Emyou
It nevDer gets better oAr worse Em7 A
DBut you get used to Ait, after aG spell Em
For heaven Dis hell in AreverseCadd9
The failedG Don Juan in the big bow-tie
Is very sorrD/Ay that he spoke
For he's mGislaid his punchline more than
D/AHalfway through a very tasteless joke C
The Fr'ulein caught him peeking down her gown Am
He's yelling in her ear C
And all at once the music stopped Am
As he was intimately bellowing "MyA dear..."
This is hellD, this is hell, AI am sorry Gto tell youEm
It nevDer gets better oAr worse Em7 A
DBut you get used to Ait, after aG spell Em
For heaven Dis hell in AreverseCadd9
The shiDmrt you wore with courage G
And the violent nCylon suit F
ReappDmear upon your back G
And undermine Cthe polished line F
You try to shoot, Dmit's not the torment G
Of the flames tChat finally see your flFesh corrupted D
It's the small humiliation that your memory piles up G
This is heEm7ll, this is hellD
"My favGourite thing" is playing againD an again
But it'Gs by Julie Andrews and not by John ColtDrane
EndlesGs balmy breezes and perfect sunsets framDed
VintaGge wine for breakfast and naked starlets floDating in Champagne C
All the passions of your youth Am
Are tranquilised and tamed C
You may think it looks familiar Am
Though you may know it by another name A
This is hellD, this is hell, AI am sorry Gto tell youEm
It nevDer gets better oAr worse Em7 A
DBut you get used to Ait, after aG spell Em
For heaven Dis hell in AreverseCadd9
This is hell, this is hell. D
