(ver. 3)
Rufus Wainwright

Intro:
D B7 F E
A A A A


A              
Who will be at Sanssouci tonight?
    A                                    E7sus4  E7
The boys that made me lose the blues and then my eyesight
    E7sus4     
All together, playing games of cards
E7sus4                      A      E7sus4  E7
Gambling the tiny shards of brass, once my heart

A
Who will be at Sanssouci tonight?
    A7                                  D
I'm looking through the window from the garden
Dm6                          A
Waiting for the call in my hotel room
    F                           A
I'm tired of writing elegies to boredom
  E7sus4             E7          A
I just want to be at Sanssouci tonight

A              
Who will be at Sanssouci tonight?
    A                            E7sus4  E7
Surely not the one that loves me truly, only
     E7sus4
He's probably down at the stables, there
E7sus4                   A      E7
Gently polishing my Cabriolet, only

 A
I don't care, I really want to go
       A7                           D
So I'm opening the door wide to the ballroom
 Dm6                         A
Calling up some dude from my hotel room
    F                           A
I'm tired of writing elegies in general
       E7sus4        E7           A
I just want to be at Sanssouci tonight

D B7 F E A
Tonight,

A    
The candles seem to all have been blown out
       A                            E7sus4   E7
Cupid's wings have cobweb rings and no one's about
         E7sus4
Could it be I came to the wrong place?
      E7sus4                                  A     E7sus4 E7
But I swear I saw them climb the stairs, that sweet master race

 A
Who will be at Sanssouci tonight?
       A7                              D
It's only when you're outside that you notice
 Dm6                            A
Only through the window you can see them
F                               A
Once the door is open, all will vanish
      E7sus4    E7        A
Ain't nobody at Sanssouci tonight

D B7 F E A
Tonight,
