A            C          
It was early in the morning, 
         A               C
We were sitting on the stoop, 
         A              C
There wheeled away a starling
        A                   C
And I thought that I would too.
A      C          A      C
Ohhhhhh for all I knew, 
       A    C          A      C
I was lost through and through, 


(Bridge)

        A       C        A      C
In my high heels and my old dress
        A       C        A  C     A C       A C       A C       A C
With my new keys in the wrong     city...........................


(Chorus) (2 beats of C & B, then 4 for A)

C  B     A
I tie the knots to remember in my 
  C    B      A
heart.  So I choke and I sputter to a 
C      B     A
stop.   I am a borrower and lender of 
     C      B     A
the lot.


(Verse 2)

A C (x2)

  A            C
I walk away asleep
     A                          C
And chalk an outline round the scene.
      A                 C
This shadow play of whiskey talk, 
    A            C
A heavy denier dream.
A   C      A      C
Ohhhh let it be, 
      A  C       A           C
I was lost in him and me.


(Bridge)

        A       C        A      C
In my high heels and my old dress
        A       C        A  C     A C       A C       A C       A C
With my new keys in the wrong     city................city...........


(Chorus)


C  B     A
I tie the knots to remember in my 
  C    B       A
heart.  So I choke and I sputter to a 
C      B       A
stop.   I am a borrower and lender of 
     C      B     A
the lot.

With my new keys in the wrong city
