1. Strophe
E
All the late night bargains have been struck,
F#m B A B C#
Between the satin beaus and their belles.
F#m
And prehistoric garbage trucks
D7
Have the city to themselves,
E
Echoes roars dinosaurs,
F# B A B C#
They're all doing the monster mash.
F#m
And most of the taxis and the whores
D7
Are only taking calls for cash.
1. Refrain
A B
I don't know how it happened,
E A
It all took place so quick,
E
But all I can do
B F#7sus4 B
Is hand it to you
G#m7
And your latest trick.

2. Strophe
E
My door was standing open.
F#m B A B C#
Security was laid back and lax.
F#m
But it was only my heart got broken.
D7
You must have had a pass key made out of wax.
E
You played robbery with insolence,
F#m B A B C#
And I played the blues in twelve bars down Lover's Lane.
F#m
And you never did have the inteligence to use
D7
The twelve keys hanging off my chain.
2. Refrain
A B
I don't know how it happened,
E A
It all took place so quick.
E
But all I can do
B F#7sus4 B
Is hand it to you
G#m7
And your latest trick.

3. Strophe
E
Now it's past last call for alcohol.
F#m B A B C#
Past recall has been here and gone.
F#m
The landlord finally paid us all.
D7
The satin jazzmen have put away their horns
E
And we're standing outside of this wonderland,
B A B C#
Looking so bereaved and so bereft,
F#m
Like a Bowery bum when he finally understands,
D7
The bottle's empty and there's nothing left.
3. Refrain
A B
I don't know how it happened,
E A
It was faster than the eye could flick,
E
But all I can do
B F#7sus4 B
Is hand it to you
G#m7
And your latest trick.
