C       D    G       G      D    C
Cunning as a conman, shrewd as a lawyer
       C    D      G          G     D      C
I went weak in the knees, the first time I saw ya
C    D G
Deep inside
G      D   C        C    D    G
Day to day ritual - give it a try!
G  D  C              C        D    G
Do-oo what you will: look out now!


Em       A             Em
But I've seen it all before
             B   A  Em
It's nothing new to me
         B            C#m             A     E
A living legend, like fifteen million other angels
G                             C
Try, as I do, I can never get through
              G          C               G
I only got as far as the back seat of my car
     D        C       G 
It's all very well to cry now
     D        C       G
It's all very well to lie now
        G          D     C            D 
Now I'm wasting my time, clutching at straws yeah
    G         D            G       D
You know damn well, what's mine is yours
G           D     C          D
Rich man or poor, duchess or whore
  G           D        G      D
I haven't got time for either or

G           C    G
I can't get over it
      D            C                G
Thank God that the storm has passed over
             C      G
I've settled down I guess
      D            C         G
Sweet dreams every once in a while
      D            C         G
Sweet dreams every once in a while

C  332010    B  224442

C   D  G        G    D       C
Man-to-vani, Mancini and the money
  C    D        G
I fell for your etiquette
    G     D       C
The first time we ever met
    C      D         G
You really socked it to me
          G      D        C
With your finger-snapping rhythm
C        D     G
Look out now!


Em            A           Em
You've got it all figured out
       A     Em
Ten to one I lose
B                       C#     F#
Drop your lover's noose    and swing me
G         D         C              D
Cruelly deprived, I don't know how you've survived
G        D                G          D
Romantic theories are for pixies and fairies
G          D          C                D
Looking in retrospect seldom wrong but never correct
G            D           G       D
Emotions are aired, like carpets out to dry

G           C    G
I can't get over it
              C                G
Thank God the storm has passed over
             C      G
I've settled down I guess
      D            C         G
Sweet dreams every once in a while
      D            C         G
Sweet dreams every once in a while


CODA:
         G                              C
Well you wouldn't know me from a bar of soap
  C    D      G
A part of the furniture,
   C   D       G
An ornament, a rocking-chair
         C        G           D
But it's all very well to cry now...
      D            C         G
Sweet dreams every once in a while
