Hello,

Here are a few more chord charts (not really TAB after all)
for some Elvis Costello songs.

Don't forget to use a single spaced font for this!

INTRO:
    

                                           
I've been talking to the wall and it's been answering me
         
Oh darling how I miss you
                              
I'm just the mere shadow of my former selfishness
                    
I crave the silhouette of your kiss
                               
With only the blue light of the TV on
                      
Lip reading threats and false alarms
                                     
There's a boy somewhere holding hands with himself
                           
And a girl in a window on the Reeperbarn

                                       
Whenever I put my foot in my mouth and you begin to doubt
                     
That it's you that I'm dreaming about
                         
Do I have to draw you a diagram?
                                              
All I ever want is just to fall into your human hands

                                
With the kings and queens of the dance hall craze
                       
Checkmate in three moves in your heyday
                                  
But the girls don't listen to your line anymore
                
Now you're part of someone else

                                                 
On the factory floor and you still say "Wheres the action?"
                        
Now you manufacture happiness
                                            
And get sold on the cheap for someone's satisfaction

(chorus)

                        
All you toy soldiers and scaremongers
                           
Are you living in this world sometimes I wonder
                                                            
In between saying you've seen too much and saying you've seen it all
before

                     
Tighter and tighter I hold you tightly

You know I love you more than slightly
                                  
Although I've never said it like this before

(chorus)
