Laura Chords

(ver. 1)
Billy Joel
Intro: Bb Ab Gb Eb

Verse:
Bb                               Gm               C7/G
Laura calls me in the middle of the night
C7              Ebm7
Passes on her     painful information
Bb                            Bb/A                   Gm             C7/G
Then these careless fingers, they get caught in her vice
C7                               F#7
Til they're bleeding on my coffee table

Chorus:

B7                        F7                    Gm 
Living alone isn't all that it's cracked up to be
F#7
Oh whoa whoa
B7                        F7                     Gm 
I'm on her side, why does she push the poison on me?
F#7          B*    Bb
Oh whoa whoa whoa whoa

(*First chorus only)

Verse:
Bb          Gm             C7/G
Laura has a very hard time
C7              Ebm7
All her life has been one long disaster
Bb                    Bb/A                          Gm                C7/G
Then she tells me she suddenly believes she's seen a very good sign
C7                    F#7
She'll be taking some aggressive action

Chorus:
B7                           F7                        Gm
I fight her wars while she's slamming her doors in my face
F#7
Oh whoa whoa
B7                       F7                    Gm
Failure to break was the only mistake that she made
F#7      Bb
Oh whoa whoa

Bridge:

Db                               Eb7
Here I am feeling like a f**king fool
Ebdim/A                Ab                 Db    
Do I react the way exactly she intends me to?
Db                            Db /F                      Eb7
Every time I think I'm off the hook she makes me lose my cool
                  Ebdim/A                Ab
I'm her machine and she can punch all the keys
                    Ebdim/A                F
And she can push any button I was programmed through

Verse:
Bb                      Gm                C7/G
Laura calls me when she needs a good fix
C7                Ebm7
All her questions will get sympathetic 
Bb               Bb/A                         Gm        C7/G
Answers I should be so immunized to all of her tricks
C7                F#7
She's surviving on her second chances

Chorus:
B7                         F7                    Gm
Sometimes I feel like this Godfather deal is all wrong
B7                  F7                     Gm
How can she hold an umbilical chord for so long?

*Instrumental Break* 
Db Eb7 Edim/A  Ab  Db

Bridge:
Db                                                    Eb7
I've done everything I can what else am I supposed to do
                    Ebdim/A               Ab
I'm her machine and she can punch all the keys
                     Ebdim/A               F
And she can push any button I was programmed through

Verse:
Bb                  Gm               C7/G
Laura loves me even if I don't care
C7                Ebm7                  Bb
That's my problem that's her sacred absolution
       Bb/A                     Gm               C7/g
If she had to she would put herself in my chair
C7            F#7
Even though I faced electrocution

Chorus:
B7                      F7                          Gm
She always says I'm the best friend that she's ever had
B7                    F7                         Gm
How do you hang up on someone who needs you that bad? 

Outro: Bb Ab Gb Eb
