(Intro)

      G         G/F#
Every day I sit beside you
       G/E            G/D
On the bus to Madison Avenue
            Am       D
Work in the big gray store
           C       G
With the revolving doors

    G                  G/F#
You don't even know my name
  G/E               G/D
I guess that I'm to blame
               Am              D
Don't know the right things to say
        C     G
So I pretend away

         Gmaj7
That I'm Rudolph Valentino

Pull up in my limousine
              Am7
Oh, won't you come in out of the rain

Things'll never be the same

         Gmaj7
And then just like Greta Garbo

You stare like there's no tomorrow
           Am7
And you'll know what I'm thinking of
Am                B              Em
Right before your eyes I fall in love with you

Am         B  Em
Do, do, do ...

  G                 G/F#
Today I'm done with games (Today I'm done with games)
      G/E              G/D
Gonna ask you for your name
              Am       D
Say I've been watching you
            C        G
I even know what you do

  G              G/F#
Maybe today I'll tell you (Maybe today I'll tell you)
     G/E                G/D
I've found the nerve to sell you
     Am       D
On a guy like me
           C             G
Who wishes that he could be

     Gmaj7
Your Rudolph Valentino

Pull up in my limousine
              Am7
Oh, won't you come in out of the rain

Things'll never be the same

         Gmaj7
And then just like Greta Garbo

You stare like there's no tomorrow
           Am7
And you'll know what I'm thinking of
Am                B              Em
Right before your eyes I fall in love with you

Gmaj7      Am7   Gmaj7   Am7
Do, do, do ...

Am                B              Em
Right before your eyes I fall in love with you
Am              B                   Em
Right before my eyes you'll say you love me to

Gmaj7
Rudolph Valentino

I pull up in my limousine
              Am7
Oh, won't you come in out of the rain

Things'll never be the same

         Gmaj7
And then just like Greta Garbo

You stare like there's no tomorrow
           Am7
And you'll know what I'm thinking of, oo

Gmaj7      Am7 (repeat and fade)
Do, do, do ...
