Lyrics recalled by Venice Buhain 
Chords figured out by Geordan Rosario 

I don't know what chord(s) comprise the intro.  It could be just notes being
played, although deep down inside I *know* there are chords behind them.
F# comes to mind (it's also the high note in the background).
Same with the chord over "sympathetic friend" down there...
==============================================================================

INTRO: N.C.

B5                         F#5         F#5
  The case is pulled from under the bed
                                                   E5      Ab5 A5 Bb5 B5
She made a call to a sympathetic friend and made arrangements
                     F#5            F#5
The door was closed, there was a note

I couldn't be bothered
                           E5    Ab5  A5 Bb5 Ab5
Maybe I'll choke no more engagements
      C#5                        A5
With "where have you been"'s and faraway frowns
E5                    B5
Trying to be good by not being round


REFRAIN 1:

   E5                     B5
So here in the bar the piano man's found
        A5                 E5
Another nail for my heart
                          B5
And here in the bar the piano man's found
        A5            B5    C#5 C#5
Another nail for my heart


AD LIB:      B5 F#5 F#5 E5 Ab5 A5 Bb5
      B5 F#5 F#5 E5 Ab5 A5 Bb5 Ab5

       C#5                 A5
That's stupid old bug that kills only love
  E5                   B5
I want to be good, is that not enough?


REFRAIN 2:

     E5                     B5
So play me the song that makes it so tough
        A5                 E5
Another nail for my heart
     E5                     B5
Then play me the song that makes it so tough
        A5            B5    C#5 C#5 B5
Another nail for my heart

                     F#5           F#5
I had excuses, those little boy lies
                                                  E5      Ab5 A5 Bb5 B5
That she computed by watching my eyes and told me firmly
                             F#5            F#5
She couldn't stand that, I'm bad on her heart

She dropped her makeup and I found the bar
      E5        Ab5 A5 Bb5 Ab5
It concerns me
     C#5                 A5
I've had a bad time, now love is resigned
     E5                       B5
I've been such a fool, I've loved and goodbyed


   E5                     B5
So here in the bar the piano man's found
        A5                 E5
Another nail for my heart
                          B5
And here in the bar the piano man's found
        A5                 E5
Another nail for my heart
                          B5
And here in the bar the piano man's found
        A5                 C#5
Another nail for my heart
    E5                     B5
And here in the bar the piano man's found
        A5                 C#5
Another nail for my heart

(repeat last two lines)

E5 B5 A5 E5
