D
How're you going to make your way in the world, woman
G A D
When you weren't cut out for working?
G D/F# A
When your fingers are slender and frail?
G D/F#
How're you going to get around
G D/F# Em7 D
In this sleazy bedroom town
G D/F# Asus4 A
If you don't put yourself up for sale?
G F#m7 D
Where will you go with your scarves and your miracles?
G D/F# A
Who's gonna know who you are?
G D/F#
Drugs and wine and flattering light
G D/F#
You must try it again till you get it right
G D/F# Em Bm7 F#m F#m7
Maybe you'll end up with someone different every night
A G D/F# G D/F#
All these people with no home to go home to
G D/F# A D Em
They'd all like to spend the night with you
G G E/G# A
Maybe I would, too
But tell me
D
How're you going to make your way in the world, woman
G A D
When you weren't cut out for working
G D/F# Em D A
And you just can't concentrate
G D A D G
And you always show up late
G D
You said you were an actress
G D
Yes, I believe you are
G D/F#
I thought you'd be a star
D7 G
So I drank up all the money,
G D Bm
Yes, I drank up all the money,
G D A D G
With these phonies in this Hollywood bar,
G D A D G
These friends of mine in this Hollywood bar
Em F#
Loneliness and frustration
Bm A G
We both came down with an acute case
D/F#
And when the lights came up at two
A
I caught a glimpse of you
Bm A
And your face looked like something
G D G
Death brought with him in his suitcase
D
Your pretty face
G
It looked so wasted
D
Another pretty face
G
Devastated
A F#m7 D
The French Inhaler
G D
He stamped and mailed her
G D A D
"So long, Norman"
D G D A D D Em7 A Asus4 A D
She said, "So long, Norman"
