Verse 1:
 D5          D5            D5
Stood by my missus in the lobby
D5              D5        D5
Asked to carry bags of Madame
D5         D5         D5
Elevators rush to the sea
D5                   D5           D5
Rummaged through my coat for the key
D5         D5             D5
After tea lounged on the sofa
   D5
My lady spoke of
D5           D5
everyone she knew there
    D5
She paused Grabbed
   D5
my wrist Said
     D5
"Now darling there
                D5
he is" I looked up
      D5
My surroundings
             D5
stirred and smeared


Refain 1:
Bb5                  F5
  His eyes calm and distant
Bb5               F5
  His mouth so severe
G5                      F5
  Though half his age I was
                   C5
I've never been in love
Before then

Chorus:
F5          C5   D5
Max you're so distraught
   F5         C5      D5
Perhaps I'll help you out
     F5        C5
Your wife was so
     D5
much more than me
    F5     C5    D5
But I can be her now
F5     C5    D5
I can be her now


Verse 2:
D5
Rush down the
D5             D5
stairs to that man
    D5         D5         D5
Mr. Summer he nodded his head
     D5               D5
With laughter in his eyes
        D5
A smirk followed
close behind
        D5
"We're strangers but I'm
D5                D5
sure we should be married"


Refrain 2:
Bb5              F5
  I spoke to my master
Bb5               F5
  She nodded her head
G5                        F5
  Though I was young and scared
                  C5
With Max standing there
We took our first step


(Repeat Chorus)


Outro:
F5     C5    D5
I can be her now
