Elvis Costello - The Boy Named If Chords

IntroC7...VerseC7..I'm a lucky so and so
A fortunate stiff
You sC7aid you'd never knew me but I'm the one you want to be with
If I tumble from a tightrope or leap from a cliff
I wC7on't be dashed to pieces
I'm the boy named IfPre-ChorusC7If I disappear and I slipper from your view
I just step upon a crack and I won't come back
ImDagine Gme
And I'll imDagine yGou tC7ooVerseC7..In a hollow of the bed sheet
Or a picture in a frame
I'm vC7ivid as a summer's day
Then never seen again
C7Who'll pay the taxman?
Who'll place the blame?
C7Who'll point into an empty room
And whisper my name?RefrainC7If I disappear and I slipper from your view
You will step upon a crack and I won't come back

Till the grAmains all turn to glDmasses.C7...
Drums begin to navigate, the band strikes up a riff
C7No one will believe you but the boy named IfVerseC7Who'll pay your entrance fee?
Who'll leave a tip?
WC7ho'll say, "Listen here, Sunshine
Don't you give me no lip"
C7Who broke your favourite heart?
Who stops and never starts?
C7Who kiss you stupid?
It must be something you did
WC7ho'll keep you satisfied after a lover's tiff?
It must be some other guy not the boy named IfRefrainC7If I disappear and I slipper from your view
You will step upon a crack and I won't come back
