Chords for Billy Joel - Laura (Audio)

[Bb] _ _ [Fm] _ [Ab] _ [Gb] _ _ [Eb] _ _
[Bb] _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ [Gb] _ [Eb] _ _
_ [Bb] Lara calls me [Gm] in the middle of the night
_ [C] _ _ Asks [Eb] on her
Faithful [Bb] information
Then these careless [Gm] fingers
They get caught in her vice
[C] _ _ Till they're [Gb] bleeding
On my coffee [B] table
Living alone is
[F] All that fits cracked up [Gm] to me
_ _ [Gb] Oh, oh, oh
[B] I am on her side
Why [F] does she
Put the poison [Gm] on me?
_ _ [Gb] Oh, [B] oh, oh
[Bb] _ Lara [Gm] has a very hard time
_ [C] _ _ All her [Eb] life has
Been one long [Bb] disaster
Then she tells me
She suddenly [Gm] believes
She's seen a very good sign
[C] _ She'll be [Gb] taking
Some aggressive [B] action
I fight her wars
While [F] she's slamming
Her doors in [Gm] my face
_ _ [Gb]
Oh, oh, [B] oh
Failure to break
Was [F] the only mistake
That [Gm] she made
_ _ [Gb]
Oh, oh, [C] oh
[Db] Here I am
Feeling [Eb] like a fucking fool
Do [Gbm] I react
[Ab] The way exactly she [Db] intends me to?
[Bbm] _ [Db] Every time I take a front bump
She makes me lose [Eb] my cool
I'm [Gbm] her machine
[Ab] She can punch [Am] all the keys
She can push [F] any button
I was [Bb] programmed to
Lara tells me
[Gm] What she needs a good fix
[C] _ _ All her [Eb] questions
You'll get sympathetic [Bb] answers
I should be so [Gm] ill-advised
With all of her tricks
_ [C] _ _ She's [Gb] surviving
On her second [B] chance
Sometimes I feel [F] like
This Godfather deal [Gm] is all wrong
_ _ [Gb]
Oh, oh, oh
[B] How can she hold an
[F] _
Unbelievable chord for [Gm] so long?
_ _ [Gb]
Oh, [C] oh, [Db] oh
_ _ [Eb] I've _
_ _ [Gbm] _ _ _ [Ab] _ [Db] _ _
_ [Bbm] _ [Db] done everything I can
What else am I supposed [Eb] to do?
_ [Gbm] I'm her machine
[Ab] And she can punch [Am] all the keys
She can push [F] any button
I was programmed [Bb] to
Lara loves [Gm] me
Even if I don't care
_ [C] That's my [Eb] problem
That's her sacred [Bb] absolution
If she had to
[Gm] She would put herself in my chair
_ [C] _ _ Even [Gb] though I
Case the [B] electrocution She awaits
Says [F] I'm the best friend
That she's [Gm] ever had
_ _ [Gb] Oh, oh, [G] oh
[B] How do you hang up
[F] On someone who needs you [Gm] that bad?
_ [Gb] _ Oh, [B] oh, [Bb] oh
_ _ [Ab] _ _ [Gb] _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Gb] _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
