            YOU STOLE MY BELL
            ELVIS COSTELLO

INTRO:
C C C C F C Dm F F F


VERSE:
       C
There is a place
         C7 F
Underneath the staircase
         C
Where I keep the evidence
          C7  Dm
Of what once would offer peace

PRE-CHORUS:
   Bb       Dm
In a deep blue velvet box filled with joy and pride
 Gm
Should I pick the locks?
 D        G
Should I peek inside?

 C          Em
Can I stand the sight of those happy days?
 Am            E     A  D
Should I strike a match, burn them all away?


CHORUS:
       G  D  Em      F  C  D
`Cause you stole my bell and you broke my chime
     Bm      Em      F   C  D
And the clock spins `round but it won`t keep time
      Em     Bm      C         Am
There are many lovely girls in this cold and loveless world

   G       Em
But not one is the equal of you,
 C        Am
Heaven knows how much I love you

 G       Em
Not one is the equal of you,
 C        Am      F F F
Heaven knows how much I love you


VERSE:
      C
So here we are
         Fsus4   F
But it`s not quite like we thought
          C
Those things were priceless then
         F    Dm
Now I know they can`t be bought


PRE-CHORUS:
   Bb          F
In a deep blue velvet box fastened with a pin
 Gm
Should I lift the lid?
 D       G
Should I look within?

 C          Em
Was it my last chance or my first mistake?
AM         E     A   D
Is it just a step that we`ll never take?


CHORUS:
       G  D  Em       F  C  D
`Cause you stole my bell then you broke my chime
     Bm      Em      F   C  D
Now the clock spins `round but it won`t keep time
      Em     Bm      C         Am  Am
There are many lovely girls in this cold and loveless world

   G       Em
But not one is the equal of you,
 C        Am
Heaven knows how much I love you

 G       Em
Not one is the equal of you,
 C        Am
Heaven knows how much I love you

 G       Em
Not one is the equal of you,
 C        Am      Am
Heaven knows how much I love you
