I'm up on the eleventh floor
F C G F C G F
And I'm watching the cruisers below
C
He's down on the street
F C G F C G
And he's trying hard to pull sister Flo
F C
Oh, my heart's in the basement
F C G F C G
My weekend's at an all time low
F C
'Cause she's hoping to score
F
So I can't see her letting him go
C E
Walk out of her heart
A
Walk out of her mind... Oh, not her
[Chorus]
B D
She's so swishy in her satin and tat

In her frock coat and bipperty-bopperty hat
B C
Oh God, I could do better than that

[Verse 2]
C
She's an old-time ambassador
F C G F C G
Of sweet talking, night walking games
F C
Oh, and she's known in the darkest clubs
F C G F C G
For pushing ahead of the dames
F C
If she says she can do it
F C G F C G
Then she can do it, she don't make false claims
F C
But she's a Queen, and such are queens
F E
That your laughter is sucked in their brains
[Bridge 1]
F
Now she's leading him on
C
And she'll lay him right down
F
Yes, she's leading him on
E
And she'll lay him right down

But it could have been me

Yes, it could have been me

Why didn't I say,
A
why didn't I say, no, no, no
[Chorus]

Oh God, I could do better than that

So I lay down a while
F C G F C G
And I gaze at my hotel wall

Oh, the cot is so cold
F C G F C G
It don't feel like no bed at all
F C
Yeah, I lay down a while
F C G F C G
And look at my hotel wall
F C
And he's down on the street
F E
So I throw both his bags down the hall
[Bridge 2]
F
And I'm phoning a cab
C
'Cause my stomach feels small
F
There's a taste in my mouth
E
And it's no taste at all
F
It could have been me
C
Oh yeah, it could have been me
E
Why didn't I say,
A
Why didn't I say, no, no, no
