Poor Napoleon Chords & Lyrics - Elvis Costello

[C] [C/B] [C] [C/B]

[C]I can't lie on this bed anym[Em/B]ore it burns my sk[Gm/Bb]in
[F/A]You can take the truthful things you've [Fm/Ab]said to me
And f[D/F#]it them on the head of a p[F]in [G]
Poor N[C]apoleon [F] [Dm] [G]

You [C]always look so disapp[Em/B]ointed [Gm/Bb]when I take my stockings off
[F/A]Don't you know the facts of l[Fm/Ab]ife boy
[D/F#]Don't you know what these things c[F]ost'
[C]She was selling stolen k[Em/B]isses to tr[Gm/Bb]avelling salesmen and minstrel singers
[F/A]You put a penny [Fm/Ab]in the slot
[D/F#]She called you her m[F]agic fingers [G]

Poor N[C]apoleon [F] [Dm] [G]
Poor N[C]apoleon [F] [Dm] [G]

I [E]bet she isn't all that's [E/G#]advertised
I [Am]bet that isn't all she f[C]akes
[D]Just like that place where they t[Eb]ake your spine
And t[F]urn it into soapfl[Eb]a--[D] -akes

[C] [C/B] [C] [C/B]
[C] [C/B] [C] [C/B]

[C]Bare wires from the s[Em/B]ocket to the b[Gm/Bb]ed where you embraced that girl
[F/A]Did you ever th[Fm/Ab]ink there's far too m[D/F#]any people [F]in the world'
[C]One day they'll probably m[Em/B]ake a movie [Gm/Bb]out of all of this
[F/A]There won't even h[Fm/Ab]ave to be a m[D/F#]urder just a sl[F]ow dissolving kiss[G]

Poor N[C]apoleon [F] [Dm] [G]

So g[C]ood night little sch[F]oolboy, you'd b[Dm]etter learn some self contr[G]ol
D[C]id you mess up your ha[F]irstyle, p[Dm]our scorn in yo[G]ur begging b[C]o-[F] --[Dm]owl [G]

Poor N[C]apoleon
