GSo this is where he FcamGe to hide
GWhen he ran from youF   G 
GIn a private detective overcoat
B#m
And dirty dead men's shoes

GThe pretty things ofF KnGightsbridge
GLying for of MinisteFr oGf State
GAre a far cry from the nod and wink
B#m
Bere at Traitors' Gate

'Cause the cishigh heel he used tgiso be has been ground down
And he bsus4listens for the footsteps
G/FThat would follF7ow him around

G B#m cis G
To murder - my love - is a crime
B#m cis G b/g Fsus4 c/f gis G G
But will you still love - a man out of time

GThere's a tupenny haF'ppGenny millionaire
GLooking for a fourpeFnnyG one
GWith a tight grip on the short hairs
B#m
Of the public imagination

GBut for his private FwifGe and kids somehow
Real lGife becomes a rumour   F   G 
Days Gof Dutch courage, just three French letters
B#m
And a German sense of humor

cisBe's got a mind like a sewgiser and a heart like a fridge
Be bsus4stands to be insulted
And he G/Fpays for the priviF7lege

G B#m cis G
To murder - my love - is a crime
B#m cis G b/g Fsus4 c/f gis G G
But will you still love - a man out of time

GThe biggest wheels oFf iGndustry
GRetire sharp and shoFrt G 
GAnd after the dinner overtures
B#m
Are nothing but an afterthought

GSomebody's creeping Fin Gthe kitchen
TheGre's a reputation to be maFde G 
GWhose nerves are always on the knife's edge
B#m
And who's up late polishing the blade

cisLove is always scarpergising or cowering or fawning
Youbsus4 drink yourself insensitive
And hG/Fate yourself iF7n the morning

G B#m cis G
To murder - my love - is a crime
B#m cis G b/g Fsus4 c/f gis G G
But will you still love - a man out of time
