               -Dire Straits-


INTRO (x2): A
            G#

        F#m
All the late night bargains have been struck
            C#   
Between the satin beaus and their belles
F#m                       
Prehistoric garbage trucks
         Am
Have the city to themselves

F#m
Echoes and roars, dinosaurs
            C#
They're all doing the monster mash
    F#m
And most of the taxis, most of the whores
    Am
Are only taking calls for cash

B
I don't know how it happened
   A
It all took place so quick
    B
But all I can do is hand it to you

And your latest trick

INTRO

              F#m
Well, now, my door was standing open
  C#
Security was laid back and lax
           F#m
But it was only my heart got a-broken
                    Am
You must have had a pass key made out of wax
           E                     
You played robbery with insolence
                 C#
And I played the blues in twelve bars down on Lover's Lane
        F#m
And you never did have the intelligence to use
           Am
The twelve keys hanging off of my chain

B
I don't know how it happened
   A
It all took place so quick
    B
But all I can do is hand it to you

And your latest trick

INTRO

                F#m
Well, now, it's past last call for alcohol
     C#
Past recall has been here and gone
    F#m
The landlord he finally paid us all
          Am
The satin jazzmen have put away their horns
          F#m
And we're standing outside of this wonderland
C#
Looking so bereaved and so bereft
       F#m
Like a Bowery bum when he finally understands
             Am
The bottle's empty and there's nothing left

B
I don't know how it happened
       A
It was faster than the eye could flick
    B
But all I can do is hand it to you

And your latest trick
