The Long Honeymoon
By Elvis Costello
>From the album: Imperial Bedroom
G+ = XX3221 (i have no idea what this chord is really called)

Edim = XX2323
Eb = XX1343
C# = XX3121
C#m = XX2120
INTRO:
All the bedroom lights go out
As the neighbourhood gets quiet
Everything in heaven and earth is almost right
But there's a wife whos wondering where her husband could be tonight
And when the phone rang only once she took a dreadful fright
Little things just seem to undermine her confidence in him
He was late this time last week
Who can she turn to when the chance of coincidence is slim
'Cause the baby isn't old enought to speak
There's been a long honeymoon
She thought too late and spoke too soon
There's no money back guarantee on future happiness
There's been a long honeymoon
If he's out on a date then her life's in ruins
She never thought her love 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 friends phone keep on ringing
G+ (?)
. . . . Maybe she should just pretend
(chorus)
