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.

B                         F#/Bb         F#m
  The case is pulled from under the bed
                                                   E      Ab A Bb? B
She made a call to a sympathetic friend and made arrangements
                     F#/Bb            F#m
The door was closed, there was a note

I couldn't be bothered
                           E    Ab  A Bb? Ab/C
Maybe I'll choke no more engagements
      C#m                        A
With "where have you been"'s and faraway frowns
E                    B
Trying to be good by not being round


REFRAIN 1:

   E                     B
So here in the bar the piano man's found
        A                 E
Another nail for my heart
                          B
And here in the bar the piano man's found
        A            B    C#m C#m/B
Another nail for my heart


AD LIB:      B F#/Bb F#m E Ab A Bb?
      B F#/Bb F#m E Ab A Bb? Ab/C

       C#m                 A
That's stupid old bug that kills only love
  E                   B
I want to be good, is that not enough?


REFRAIN 2:

     E                     B
So play me the song that makes it so tough
        A                 E
Another nail for my heart
     E                     B
Then play me the song that makes it so tough
        A            B    C#m C#m/B B
Another nail for my heart

                     F#/Bb           F#m
I had excuses, those little boy lies
                                                  E      Ab A Bb? B
That she computed by watching my eyes and told me firmly
                             F#/Bb            F#m
She couldn't stand that, I'm bad on her heart

She dropped her makeup and I found the bar
      E        Ab A Bb? Ab/C
It concerns me
     C#m                 A
I've had a bad time, now love is resigned
     E                       B
I've been such a fool, I've loved and goodbyed


   E                     B
So here in the bar the piano man's found
        A                 E
Another nail for my heart
                          B
And here in the bar the piano man's found
        A                 E
Another nail for my heart
                          B
And here in the bar the piano man's found
        A                 C#m
Another nail for my heart
    E                     B
And here in the bar the piano man's found
        A                 C#m
Another nail for my heart
