Here's one of the two of us
Am7     F
In 1954 don't laugh
    C
I keep all of the pictures
        G
Are you going to take a photograph
C                E4    E
Here's something nice for you
Am                        F
A dear old thing came to a show
C
Last time here we did
           G
An interview on local radio

D5                       D9
Make yourself at home my darling
F       G
Come on in
D5                  Am  
Hand me down that jar love
      F          Bb7M  Bb6  Am/G  G
Can I offer you a gin

C                     G/B
We're proud to be the oldest
     Am7        F
Ugly sisters in variety
       C
There's not the glamor now you see
     G
What happened to society
C                E4    E
There's another light bulb gone
Am                    F
They don't all answer to the switch
   C
I don't know how we carry on
    G
And her she couldn't care the bitch

D5                    D9
But in a while the old boys
       F             G
In the band begin to play
    D5              Am
And in a while the houselights
        F              Bb7M  Bb6  Am/G   G
And the curtains slide away

    C
And something's going to happen
             C
To make your whole life better
     C/Bb                  F
Your whole life better one day
C
Something's going to happen
              E4  E   Am
To make your whole life better
      C         G                
Your whole life better one day

        C              G/B
Now the landlady's all squared away
      Am7             F
It's just a temporary deal
    C
I'm afraid tonight it's take-away
    G
You see there is no evening meal
C                   E9  E        Am
Don't worry dear you shall go to the ball
            F
I think the fairy said
      C
These suitcases have seen it all
     G
From under someone else's bed

     D5                      D9
You want to smile those tears away
    F          G
Now don't you cry
    D5                Am
You want to know what I say
 F              Bb7M  Bb6  Am/G  G
I say never say die

     C
'Cos something's going to happen
             C
To make your whole life better
     C/Bb                  F
Your whole life better one day
 C
Something's going to happen
             E4   E    Am
To make your whole life better
     C          G
Your whole life better one day
