D A G Em
This is hell, this is hell, I am sorry to tell you
D A Em7 A
It never gets better or worse
D A G Em
But you get used to it, after a spell
D A Cadd9
For heaven is hell in reverse
G
The bruiser spun a hula hoop
D/A
As all the barmen preen and pout
G
The neon "I" of "night club" flickers
D/A C
On an off and finally blew out
Am C
The irritating jingle of the belly dancing phoney turkish girl
Am
The eerie glare of ultraviolet perfect dental work
D A G Em
This is hell, I am sorry to tell you
D A Em7 A
It never gets better or worse
D A G Em
But you get used to it, after a spell
D A Cadd9
For heaven is hell in reverse
G
The failed Don Juan in the big bow-tie
D/A
Is very sorry that he spoke
G
For he?s mislaid his punchline more than
D/A C
Halfway through a very tasteless joke
Am
The Fr?ulein caught him peeking down her gown
C
He?s yelling in her ear
Am
And all at once the music stopped
A
As he was intimately bellowing "My dear..."
D A G Em
This is hell, this is hell, I am sorry to tell you
D A Em7 A
It never gets better or worse
D A G Em
But you get used to it, after a spell
D A Cadd9
For heaven is hell in reverse
Dm G
The shirt you wore with courage
C F
And the violent nylon suit
Dm G
Reappear upon your back
C F
And undermine the polished line
Dm G
You try to shoot, it?s not the torment
C F D
Of the flames that finally see your flesh corrupted
G
It's the small humiliation that your memory piles up
Em7 D
This is hell, this is hell
G D
"My favourite thing" is playing again an again
G D
But it's by Julie Andrews and not by John Coltrane
G D
Endless balmy breezes and perfect sunsets framed
G D C
Vintage wine for breakfast and naked starlets floating in Champagne
Am
All the passions of your youth
C
Are tranquilised and tamed
Am
You may think it looks familiar
A
Though you may know it by another name
D A G Em
This is hell, this is hell, I am sorry to tell you
D A Em7 A
It never gets better or worse
D A G Em
But you get used to it, after a spell
D A Cadd9
For heaven is hell in reverse
D
This is hell, this is hell.
G
