Beyond Belief Elvis Costello
[D]History repeats the old conceits
the [G]glib replies, the same defeats
[D]Keep your fingers on important issues
with [F]crocodile tears and pocket full of tissues.
[D]I'm just the oily slick on the [G]windup world of the nervous tick
[D]In a very fashionable [F]hovel
[D]I hang around dying to be tortured
You'll [G]never be alone in the bone orchard
This [D]battle with the bottle is [F]nothing so novel
[D]So in this almost empty[G] gin palace
[D]Through a two-way looking glass
You [F]see your Alice
[D]You know she has no sen[G]se for all your jealousy
[D]In a sense she still smile[F]s very sweetly
Charged with in[D]sults and flattery
[G]Her body moves with malice
[D]Do you have to be so [F]cruel to be callous?
[D]And now you find you fit[G] this identikit completely
[D]You say you have no se[F]crets
And then leave discreetly
Chorus:
[G]I might make it California's fault
be locked in Geneva's deepest vault
Just like the canals on Mars and the great barrier reef
I come to you be[Dm]yond belief.
My hands were clammy and cunning
She's been suitably stunning
But I know there's not a hope in Hades
All the laddies cat call and wolf whistle
So-called gentlemen and ladies
Dog fight like rose and thistle
Coda:
[D]I've got a feeling I'm [G]going to get a lot of grief
[D]Once this seemed so appealing
[F]Now I am beyond belief
(Repeat to fade)
