All The Rage Tab

by Elvis Costello


All The Rage
from Brutal Youth


I don't pretend that this is as good as chords have been typed in before
but it should give you a start. I picked this song first because it's
one of the easiest.

The twiching impulse is to speak your mind
                                                                     /B
I?ll lend you my microscope and maybe you will find it
                                                                  
Is it in that ugly place that?s just behind your face
                                                                                             
Where you keep my picture still despite the fact that you had me replaced

                                                 
Say "Good-bye", baby, can?t you act your age
                                                  
You know why, I?m going to give it to you straight
                                                                 
Altgough I?ll never be unhappy as you want me to be
                                             
Still it?s all the rage

                                                   
I?ll propably play along, left to my own devices
                                                
Spare me the drone of your advice
                                                         
The sins of garter and gin, confessions may delay
                                                                   
You know the measuring pole, the merry boots of clay?
                                             
I?ve heard it all before, you?ll say it anyway

                                                
Say "Good-bye", baby, can?t you act your age
                                                  
You know why, I?m going to give it to you straight
                                                                 
Altgough I?ll never be unhappy as you want me to be
                                             
Still it?s all the rage

                                                                         
Alone with your tweezers and your handkerchief
                                                                 /B
You murder time and truth, love, laughter and belief
                                                                             
So don?t try to touch my heart, it?s darker than you think
                                                                                   
And don?t try to read my mind because it?s full of disappearing ink


                                                  
Say "Good-bye", baby, can?t you act your age
                                                  
You know why, I?m going to give it to you straight
                                                                 
Altgough I?ll never be unhappy as you want me to be
                                             
Still it?s all the rage

                                            
Altgough I?ll never be unhappy as you want me to be
                                             
Still it?s all the rage
