Verse 1:

   E MajorE              B minorBm
I was looking for a rhyme for the New York Times
    F# minorF#m        A augmentedA
When I sensed I was not alone.
        E MajorE          B minorBm
She said "D'you know how to spell audaciously?"
    F# minorF#m      A augmentedA
I could tell I was in luck.

Verse 2:

     E MajorE            B minorBm
And so I forced a smile contrary to my style
    F# minorF#m      A augmentedA
And she looked into my eyes
        E MajorE     B minorBm
She said "D'you want to go heaven
       F# minorF#m      A augmentedA
Or would you rather not be saved?"


Bridge 1:

       B minorBm    G+G
Here comes my train
     D MajorD         F# minorF#m
I'm on my way, will you not see
    G+G       F# minorF#m
I don't need your sympathy
    G+G       A augmentedA        E MajorE
I won't read your poetry, oh sweetness please!

 E MajorE      B minorBm      F# minorF#m     A augmentedA

Verse 3:

    E MajorE          B minorBm
So she took me back to her basement flat,
     F# minorF#m        A augmentedA
Which was down on Charlotte Street.
       E MajorE     B minorBm
Though it was never my intention
      F# minorF#m       A augmentedA
No we were not intense, not least because,

Verse 4:

       E MajorE             B minorBm
"Well if you must just take then I'm a piece of cake."
    F# minorF#m       A augmentedA
That is what she said to me
     E MajorE         B minorBm
And so I gave myself to her charity
    F# minorF#m         A augmentedA
Well at least that's how it seemed,


Bridge 2:

       B minorBm    G+G
Here comes my train
     D MajorD         F# minorF#m
I'm on my way, what got into me?
    G+G       F# minorF#m
I don't need your sympathy
    G+G       A augmentedA       E MajorE
I won't read your poetry, oh bittersweets!

Verse 5:

   E MajorE              B minorBm              F# minorF#m    A augmentedA
I was looking for a rhyme for the New York Times when I was distracted
        E MajorE         B minorBm       F# minorF#m    A augmentedA
Yes those were precious times together that we wasted


Verse 6:

    E MajorE          B minorBm
Now I'm working hard for my union card
     F# minorF#m         A augmentedA
I must be leaving Charlotte Street
       E MajorE     B minorBm         F# minorF#m    A augmentedA
Though it was never my intention to stay so long
  E MajorE
So long
