Tom: C5

C5
Bad lovers face to face in the morning
A5
Shy apologies and polite regrets
F5
Slow dances that left no warning of
D5
Outraged glances and indiscreet yawning
F5                    G5                C5
Good manners and bad breath get you nowhere
C5                   A5
Even presidents have newspaper lovers
F5                     F5     
Ministers go crawling under covers
C5        A5
She's no angel
C5       F5
He's no saint
C5           A5              F5       
They're all covered up with white washed grease paint  (alt: white washed newsprint)
G5
And you say...

Chorus:
C5           F5                           G5           A5
The teacher never told you anything but white lies
Bb5                C5
But you never see the lies
          F5   F5
And you believe
Bb5                     C5
Oh you know you have been captured
    F5                  A5
You feel so civilized
D5               F5                       C5
And you look so pretty in your new lace sleeves


C5
The salty lips of the socialite sisters
           A5
With their continental fingers that have
F5
never seen working blisters
D5
Oh I know they've got their problems
F5            G5      
I wish I was one of them
C5              A5
They say daddy's coming home soon
F5                                 F5                  
With his sergeant stripes and his Empire mug and spoon
C5       A5
No more fast buck
C5                       F5
And when are they gonna learn their lesson
C5                   A5                F5             G5
When are they gonna stop all of these victory processions And you say...

**Chorus


C5                                         Bb5
Look so pretty in your new lace sleeves
