lyrics and chords of: The Long Honeymoon by Elvis Costello And The Attractions
EmAll the bedroom lights go out
As the neighDbourhood gets quiet
Ev'Amrything in heaven and earth is almost rEmight
But there's a wEmife who's wond'ring
Where her husDband could be tonight
And when the pAmhone rang almost once
She took a drEmeadful fright
Little thEmings just seem to undermine
Her confDidence in him
AmHe was late this time last Emweek
EmWho can she turn to
When the chDance of coincidence is slim
                                   Am  B+    B9  B  
`Cause the baby isn't old enough to speak
There's been a G#dimlong honGeymooDn
She thought too G#dimlate and spGoke too sDoon
There's no moCney-back guarantee
On future hapBmpiness
There's been a G#dimlong honGeymooFn
If he's out on a Fmdate then her life's in rEbuins
She Ebmnever thought her lBbove
Could Ebmever C#be as sCmtrong as tBmhis
All the moEmvies and the papers
Feature the murDders of lonely women
If he iAmsn't in by ten
She'll call up Emher best friend
EmWhy doesn't he come home
Why does her frDiend's phone keep on ringing
                       Am  B+    B9  B  
Maybe she should just pretend
There's been a G#dimlong honGeymooDn

lyrics and chords of: The Long Honeymoon by Elvis Costello And The Attractions

All the bedroom lights go out

As the neighbourhood gets quiet

Am Em

Ev'rything in heaven and earth is almost right

But there's a wife who's wond'ring

Where her husband could be tonight

And when the phone rang almost once

She took a dreadful fright

Little things just seem to undermine

Her confidence in him

Am Em

He was late this time last week

Who can she turn to

When the chance of coincidence is slim

Am B B9 B

`Cause the baby isn't old enough to speak

There's been a long honeymoon

If he's out on a date then her life's in ruins

Ebm Bb

She never thought her love

Ebm C# Cm Bm

Could ever be as strong as this

All the movies and the papers

Feature the murders of lonely women

If he isn't in by ten

She'll call up her best friend

Why doesn't he come home

Why does her friend's phone keep on ringing

Am B B9 B

Maybe she should just pretend
