D5
How're you going to make your way in the world, woman
         G5           A5       D5
When you weren't cut out for working?
          G5           D5        A5
When your fingers are slender and frail?
G5                       D5
How're you going to get around
        G5  D5  E5   D5
In this sleazy   bedroom town
       G5             D5        A5   A5
If you don't put yourself up for sale?

G5                           F#5                D5
Where will you go with your scarves and your miracles?
G5           D5         A5
Who's gonna know who you are?
G5                  D5
Drugs and wine and flattering light
         G5                     D5
You must try it again till you get it right
G5                D5            E5              B5   F#5  F#5
Maybe you'll end up with someone different every night

A5         G5              D5    G5  D5
All these people with no home to go home to
       G5   D5    A5         D5          E5
They'd all like to spend the night with you
               G5    G5  E5  A5
Maybe I would, too


But tell me
D5
How're you going to make your way in the world, woman
         G5           A5       D5
When you weren't cut out for working
        G5    D5  E5 D5   A5
And you just can't concentrate
        G5  D5   A5    D5   G5
And you always show up late

    G5                D5
You said you were an actress
       G5           D5
Yes, I believe you are
G5                    D5
I thought you'd be a star
     D5               G5
So I drank up all the money,
       G5                D5        B5
Yes, I drank up all the money,
           G5       D5       A5    D5    G5
With these phonies in this Hollywood bar,
      G5          D5            A5    D5    G5
These friends of mine in this Hollywood bar

E5             F#5
Loneliness and frustration
B5           A5             G5
We both came down with an acute case
             D5
And when the lights came up at two
  A5  
I caught a glimpse of you
         B5          A5
And your face looked like something
G5             D5               G5
Death brought with him in his suitcase
 
            D5
Your pretty face
             G5
It looked so wasted
               D5
Another pretty face
     G5
Devastated
A5     F#5      D5
  The French Inhaler
G5                D5
  He stamped and mailed her
G5   D5     A5   D5  
"So long, Norman"
D5          G5  D5     A5  D5      D5  E5  A5  A5  A5    D5
She said, "So long, Norman"
