Verse
D MajorD
We ate toast cut roughtly into halves
A augmentedA
With sour jam in an empty bar
G+G
Large vases, filled with dead flowers
D MajorD                 A augmentedA
And carved wood mirrors to show us our faces
D MajorD              A augmentedA
Blinking out sleep, unkempt, unshaved, unsound
      G+G                        D MajorD
Round the back, slack-dressed, the chef lights a cigarette
          A augmentedA
Late for his shift again

G+G    A augmentedA    D MajorD             G+G
Who are you to tell me that I look depressed?
G+G      A augmentedA    D MajorD        G+G
You wouldn't know it but I'm at my best

D MajorD
I've got a little surprise up my sleeve
B minorBm
I've got a little surprise up my sleeve
A augmentedA         G+G         D MajorD
I've got a little surprise up my sleeve

D MajorD
Shake open the pages, the yellowed slips of paper,
A augmentedA
Flattened coffee stirrers, in the book on the table,
G+G
A augmentedA ticket from the metro in Milan,
D MajorD               A augmentedA
A majorA letter from Simon in Prospect Park, Brooklyn,
D MajorD
One cigarette paper, torn magazine cover,
A augmentedA
One leaflet for Jesus and one Hare Krishna
G+G           D MajorD   A augmentedA
All fall out onto the table

G+G    A augmentedA    D MajorD             G+G
Who are you to tell me that I look depressed?
G+G      A augmentedA    D MajorD        G+G
You wouldn't know it but I'm at my best

D MajorD
I've got a little surprise up my sleeve
B minorBm
I've got a little surprise up my sleeve
A augmentedA         G+G         D MajorD
I've got a little surprise up my sleeve
