Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

  The case is pulled from under the bed

 She made a call to a sympathetic friend and made arrangements

 The door was closed, there was a note

I couldn't be bothered

 Maybe I'll choke no more engagements

 With "where have you been"'s and faraway frowns

 Trying to be good by not being round

Refrain 1

 So here in the bar the piano man's found

 Another nail for my heart

 And here in the bar the piano man's found

 Another nail for my heart

AD LIB:

 That's stupid old bug that kills only love

 I want to be good, is that not enough?

Refrain 2

 So play me the song that makes it so tough

 Another nail for my heart

 Then play me the song that makes it so tough

 Another nail for my heart

 I had excuses, those little boy lies

 That she computed by watching my eyes and told me firmly

 She couldn't stand that, I'm bad on her heart

She dropped her makeup and I found the bar

 It concerns me

 I've had a bad time, now love is resigned

 I've been such a fool, I've loved and goodbyed

 So here in the bar the piano man's found

 Another nail for my heart

 And here in the bar the piano man's found

 Another nail for my heart

 And here in the bar the piano man's found

 Another nail for my heart

 And here in the bar the piano man's found

 Another nail for my heart
