E B E
So this is where he came to hide
E B E
When he ran from you
E
In a private detective overcoat
Fm
And dirty dead men`s shoes
E B E
The pretty things of Knightsbridge
E B E
Lying for of Minister of State
E
Are a far cry from the nod and wink
Fm
Here at Traitors` Gate
Gm Cm
`Cause the high heel he used to be has been ground down
Fsus4
And he listens for the footsteps
E/B B7
That would follow him around
E Fm Gm E
To murder - my love - is a crime
Fm Gm A F/A Bsus4 G/B Cm A E
But will you still love - a man out of time
E B E
There`s a tupenny ha`ppenny millionaire
E B E
Looking for a fourpenny one
E
With a tight grip on the short hairs
Fm
Of the public imagination
E B E
But for his private wife and kids somehow
E B E
Real life becomes a rumour
E
Days of Dutch courage, just three French letters
Fm
And a German sense of humor
Gm Cm
He`s got a mind like a sewer and a heart like a fridge
Fsus4
He stands to be insulted
E/B B7
And he pays for the privilege
E Fm Gm E
To murder - my love - is a crime
Fm Gm A F/A Bsus4 G/B Cm A E
But will you still love - a man out of time
E B E
The biggest wheels of industry
E B E
Retire sharp and short
E
And after the dinner overtures
Fm
Are nothing but an afterthought
E B E
Somebody`s creeping in the kitchen
E B E
There`s a reputation to be made
E
Whose nerves are always on the knife`s edge
Fm
And who`s up late polishing the blade
Gm Cm
Love is always scarpering or cowering or fawning
Fsus4
You drink yourself insensitive
E/B B7
And hate yourself in the morning
E Fm Gm E
To murder - my love - is a crime
Fm Gm A F/A Bsus4 G/B Cm A E
But will you still love - a man out of time
