lyrics and chords of: The Long Honeymoon by Elvis Costello And The Attractions
Suggestions and corrections are always welcome!
date: 95/10/15
All the bedroom lights go out
As the neighbourhood gets quiet
Ev rything in heaven and earth is almost right
But there s a wife who s wond ring
Where her husband could be tonight
And when the phone rang almost once
She took a dreadful fright
Little things just seem to undermine
Her confidence in him
He was late this time last week
Who can she turn to
When the chance of coincidence is slim
+
`Cause the baby isn t old enough to speak
There s been a long honeymoon
She thought too late and spoke too soon
There s no money-back guarantee
On future happiness
There s been a long honeymoon
If he s out on a date then her life s in ruins
She never thought her love
Could ever be as strong as this
All the movies and the papers
Feature the murders of lonely women
If he isn t in by ten
She ll call up her best friend
Why doesn t he come home
Why does her friend s phone keep on ringing
+
Maybe she should just pretend
There s been a long honeymoon
She thought too late and spoke too soon
There s no money-back guarantee
On future happiness
There s been a long honeymoon
If he s out on a date then her life s in ruins
She never thought her love
Could ever be as strong as this
Be as strong as this
Be as strong as this
Be as strong as this
Be as strong as this
Original tune is c-minor!
