                       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
