Verse 1:
 D          D7            Dm7
Stood by my missus in the lobby
D              D7        Dm7
Asked to carry bags of Madame
D         D7         Dm7
Elevators rush to the sea
D                   D7           Dm7
Rummaged through my coat for the key
D         D7             Dm7
After tea lounged on the sofa
   D
My lady spoke of
D7           Dm7
everyone she knew there
    D
She paused Grabbed
   D7
my wrist Said
     Dm7
"Now darling there
                D
he is" I looked up
      D7
My surroundings
             D7
stirred and smeared


Refain 1:
Bb                  F
  His eyes calm and distant
Bb               F
  His mouth so severe
Gm                      F4
  Though half his age I was
                   C
I've never been in love
Before then

Chorus:
F          C/E   Dm
Max you're so distraught
   F         C/E      Dm
Perhaps I'll help you out
     F        C/E
Your wife was so
     Dm
much more than me
    F     C/E    Dm
But I can be her now
F     C/E    Dm
I can be her now


Verse 2:
D
Rush down the
D7             Dm7
stairs to that man
    D         D7         Dm7
Mr. Summer he nodded his head
     D               D7
With laughter in his eyes
        D7
A smirk followed
close behind
        D
"We're strangers but I'm
D7                Dm7
sure we should be married"


Refrain 2:
Bb              F
  I spoke to my master
Bb               F
  She nodded her head
Gm                        F4
  Though I was young and scared
                  C
With Max standing there
We took our first step


(Repeat Chorus)


Outro:
F     C/E    Dm
I can be her now
