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.
