New Lace Sleeves
Words & Music by: Elvis Costello

CC Piano Chord 

Bad lovers face to face in the morning
AmAm Piano Chord 

Shy apologies and polite regrets
FF Piano Chord 

Slow dances that left no warning of
DmDm Piano Chord 

Outraged glances and indiscreet yawning
FF Piano Chord 
                    GG Piano Chord 
                CC Piano Chord 

Good manners and bad breath get you nowhere
CC Piano Chord 
                   AmAm Piano Chord 

Even presidents have newspaper lovers
FF Piano Chord 
                     FmFm Piano Chord 

Ministers go crawling under covers
CC Piano Chord 
        AmAm Piano Chord 

She's no angel
CC Piano Chord 
       FF Piano Chord 

He's no saint
CC Piano Chord 
           AmAm Piano Chord 
              FF Piano Chord 

They're all covered up with white washed grease paint
(alt: white washed newsprint)
GG Piano Chord 

And you say...

CHORUS:

CC Piano Chord 
           FF Piano Chord 
                           GG Piano Chord 
           AmAm Piano Chord 

The teacher never told you anything but white lies
BbBb Piano Chord 
                C/BbC/Bb Piano Chord 

But you never see the lies
F/AF/A Piano Chord 
   Fm/AbFm/Ab Piano Chord 

And you believe
Bb/AbBb/Ab Piano Chord 
                     C/GC/G Piano Chord 

Oh you know you have been captured
FF Piano Chord 
                  Am/EAm/E Piano Chord 

You feel so civilized
DD Piano Chord 
               FF Piano Chord 
                       CC Piano Chord 

And you look so pretty in your new lace sleeves

CC Piano Chord 

The salty lips of the socialite sisters
AmAm Piano Chord 

With their continental fingers that have
FF Piano Chord 

never seen working blisters
DmDm Piano Chord 

Oh I know they've got their problems
FF Piano Chord 
            GG Piano Chord 

I wish I was one of them
CC Piano Chord 
              AmAm Piano Chord 

They say daddy's coming home soon
FF Piano Chord 
                                 FmFm Piano Chord 

With his sergeant stripes and his Empire mug and spoon
CC Piano Chord 
       AmAm Piano Chord 

No more fast buck
CC Piano Chord 
                       FF Piano Chord 

And when are they gonna learn their lesson
CC Piano Chord 
                   AmAm Piano Chord 
                FF Piano Chord 
             GG Piano Chord 

When are they gonna stop all of these victory processions
And you say...

(Chorus)

CC Piano Chord 
                                         BbBb Piano Chord 

look so pretty in your new lace sleeves
