She said
G7
Come in my dear,
You're looking tired tonight.
                           H7          Emi
Your bath is drawn, let me loosen your tie
    H7                    D7
And fix you your usual drink. 

G7
He settles back,
Takes a magazine,
                           H7          Emi
Kicks off his shoes, as he studies the form
   H7                      D7
Of every appealing soubrette. 

    Gmi
But where are the flowers that he used to bring?
        A7        Dmi
Every endearing remark
  Gmi                      C
Reminds her of passionarte promises,
     Gmi     A7          D
That he only made in the dark.

       Adim
In her bed,
Emi                       A
She wants to shout at the back of his head
        D                       Adim
Look at me, look at me, look at me I'm afraid
Emi
See what it's come to,
Cmi           Cmi6         G7
I'm just your mistress and maid.

G7
The wine is warm
But the dinner is cold.
                              H7          Emi
The look in his eye tells her it won't be long
         H7                          D7
till the girls on the page come to life. 

    Gmi
And they'll get the flowers that he used to bring
             A7        Dmi
With every endearing remark,
    Gmi                   C
And all of the passionate promises
      Gmi      A7         D
He'll never fulfil in the dark.

         Adim
In their bed,
Emi                       A
She wants to shout at the back of his head
        D                        Adim
Look at me, look at me, now that I'm not afraid.
Emi
See what it's come to,
Cmi          Cmi6         G7
I'm not your mistress and maid.

Fmi
See what it's come to,
Cmi          Cmi6         G7
I'm not your mistress and maid.
