Standard (EADGBE)
Maybe she should just go home,
Why should she just sit and watch telly on her own?
Right or wrong she'll stand or fall,
Writing's written on the wall.
I bet she was beautiful when she was twenty-three.
Kisses wasted on wrong cheeks,
Minutes turning into weeks,
Official status not quite known,
Tired of trying to exist, living on her own.
Oh i bet she was beautiful when she was twenty-three.
She looked like Audrey Hepburn,
Sang like Dorris Day,
Legs like Marlena Dietrich,
This old girl's the girl that got away.
She made her name near and far,
Playing nearly every single cabaret bar,
They said she could've been a star,
But she never got the chance to get that far.
But i bet she was beautiful when she was twenty-three.
She looked like Audrey Hepburn,
Sang like Dorris Day,
Legs like Marlena Dietrich,
This old girl's the girl that got away.
They thought they fell in love,
They thought they shared a moment,
He thought she was looking deep into his eyes, right into his very soul,
But she was just checking her hair in the reflection of his sunglasses,
She looked like Audrey Hepburn,
Sang like Dorris Day,
Legs like Marlena Dietrich,
This old girl's the girl that got away.
Play the last chorus twice and end on F.
Love Matt xx
