[Verse 1] The case was pulled from under the bed She made a call to a sympathetic friend And made arrangements The door was closed, there was a note I couldn't be bothered, maybe I'll choke No more engagements [Pre-Chorus 1] With where-have-you-beens and far away frowns Trying to be good by not being 'round [Chorus 1] And here in the bar, the piano man's found Another nail for my heart And here in the bar, the piano man's found Another nail for my heart [Guitar Solo] [Pre-Chorus 2] That stupid old bug that kills only love I want to be good, is that not enough? [Chorus 2] So play me the song that makes it so tough Another nail for my heart Then play me the song that makes it so tough Another nail for my heart [Verse 2] I had excuses, those little boy lies That she computed by watching my eyes And told me firmly She couldn't stand it, I'm bad on her heart She dropped her make-up and I found the bar Now it concerns me [Pre-Chorus 3] I've had a bad time, now love is resigned I've been such a fool, I've loved and goodbyed [Chorus 3] So here in the bar, the piano man's found Another nail for my heart And here in the bar, the piano man's found Another nail for my heart And here in the bar, the piano man's found Another nail for my heart And here in the bar, the piano man's found Another nail for my heart And here in the bar, the piano man's found Another nail for my heart
