INTRO (x2): C#m-A B G#m A
F# B G# A G#
[Verse]
E F#m
All the late night bargains have been struck
B C#m B C#
Between the satin beaus and their belles
F#m
Prehistoric garbage trucks
Am
Have the city to themselves
E F#m
Echoes and roars, dinosaurs
B C#m B C#
They're all doing the monster mash
F#m
And most of the taxis, most of the whores
Am
Are only taking calls for cash
[Chorus]
A B
I don't know how it happened
E A
It all took place so quick
E F#m B C#m B
But all I can do is hand it to you
And your latest trick
[Intro]
[Verse]
E F#m
Well, now, my door was standing open
B C#m B C#
Security was laid back and lax
F#m
But it was only my heart got a-broken
Am
You must have had a pass key made out of wax
E
You played robbery with insolence
F#m B C#m B C#
And I played the blues in twelve bars down on Lover's Lane
F#m
And you never did have the intelligence to use
Am
The twelve keys hanging off of my chain
[Chorus]
A B
I don't know how it happened
E A
It all took place so quick
E F#m B C#m B
But all I can do is hand it to you
And your latest trick
[Intro]
[Verse]
E F#m
Well, now, it's past last call for alcohol
B C#m B C#
Past recall has been here and gone
F#m
The landlord he finally paid us all
Am
The satin jazzmen have put away their horns
E F#m
And we're standing outside of this wonderland
B C#m B C#
Looking so bereaved and so bereft
F#m
Like a Bowery bum when he finally understands
Am
The bottle's empty and there's nothing left
[Chorus]
A B
I don't know how it happened
E A
It was faster than the eye could flick
E F#m B C#m B
But all I can do is hand it to you
And your latest trick
