Abmaj7 Gbmaj7
I'm falling in love with her 8 track mind, with plenty good reason to be so kind
Bmaj7 Dmaj7 Dbmaj7 Bm7 E7
Her favorite nightclub has a jukebox full of hits from the past
Abmaj7 Gbmaj7
She's not into emo or screamo or jazz, but she can do Shakespeare like nobody has
Bmaj7 Dmaj7 Dbmaj7 E11 E11
Is this what they call edu-tainment to the highest degree?
A11 A13 Ab11 Dbmaj7 Gb11 Gb13
Now she's crying I touched a nerve, we might be chalking it up to absurd
Gb13 Ab11 Gaug
Cause when the truth is spilled, it starts to flow.
A11 A13 Ab11 Dbnaj7 Gb11
I love you baby don't pay the bills, when I don't bring home the biggest kill
Gb11 Gb13 Dbmaj7 Gb11 Dbmaj7 Emaj7 A11
Her self-indulgent silent treatment goes, with Wine and Roses I suppose
Abmaj7 Gbmaj7
Always the rebel, that's sure fine by me, dancing and prancing with strange company
Bmaj7 Dmaj7 Dbmaj7 Bm7 E7
Yet keeping it wholesome like a chaperon is standing nearby.
Abmaj7 Gbmaj7
All in my mix and then make way for pout, nothing is lacking but the jokes have run out
Bmaj7 Dmaj7 Dbmaj7 E11 E11
Sorry babe but I have planes to catch, I'll carry on in the spring
A11 A13 Ab11 Dbmaj7 Gb11 Gb13
Now she's sighing by fireside, contemplating just what feels right
Gb13 Ab11 Gaug
Staving off this twisted world she knows
A11 A13 Ab11 Dbnaj7 Gb11
She's playing freedom, her only card, gone in a cinch and an inch, take a yard
Gb11 Ab11 Ab13 Dbmaj7 Gb11 Dbmaj7 Emaj7 A11
Deep into her fantasy she goes with wine and roses I suppose
(solo)

Abmaj7 Dbmaj7 Gbmaj7 Bmaj7 Bbmaj7
Bbm7 Dbmaj7 Gbmaj7 Bmaj7 Bmaj7 Bbm7 Eb7
Abmaj7 Gbmaj7
Back at her hotel the industry's told, brainy calypso has taken her hold
Bmaj7 Dmaj7 Dbmaj7 Bm7 E7
Hired for TV but the radio's forgotten her name
Abmaj7 Gbmaj7
Smiles I frown on, we're keeping it light, taking her LP so some brand new height
Bmaj7 Dmaj7 Dbmaj7 E11 E11
Sorry babe but I have dreams to catch let's say we call this a fling??
A11 A13 Ab11 Dbmaj7 Gb11 Gb13
There's something sacred about her tongue, she's probably singing what ain't been sung
Gb13 Ab11 Gaug
While taking out that diamond from her nose
A11 A13 Ab11 Dbnaj7 Gb11
In case she's bored now I'll syncopate, and move the project to some new state
Gb11 Ab11 Ab13 Dbmaj7 Gb11 Dbmaj7
Either way the mystery is closed, with wine and roses I suppose
Dbmaj7 Gb11 Dbmaj7
with wine and roses I suppose
Dbmaj7 Gb11 Dbmaj7
with wine and roses I suppose
Ebsus Fsus Gbsus...........
