A C
It was early in the morning,
A C
We were sitting on the stoop,
A C
There wheeled away a starling
A C
And I thought that I would too.
A C A C
Ohhhhhh for all I knew,
A C A C
I was lost through and through,
(Bridge)
A C A C
In my high heels and my old dress
A C A C A C A C A C A C
With my new keys in the wrong city...........................
(Chorus) (2 beats of C & B, then 4 for A)
C B A
I tie the knots to remember in my
C B A
heart. So I choke and I sputter to a
C B A
stop. I am a borrower and lender of
C B A
the lot.
(Verse 2)
A C (x2)
A C
I walk away asleep
A C
And chalk an outline round the scene.
A C
This shadow play of whiskey talk,
A C
A heavy denier dream.
A C A C
Ohhhh let it be,
A C A C
I was lost in him and me.
(Bridge)
A C A C
In my high heels and my old dress
A C A C A C A C A C A C
With my new keys in the wrong city................city...........

stop. I am a borrower and lender of
C B A
the lot.

With my new keys in the wrong city

With my new keys in the wrong city................city...........
(Chorus)
C B A
I tie the knots to remember in my

a stop.
