Berikut ini lirik dan chord lagu “Man out of Time” dari Elvis Costello:

E                                                  B   E
So this is where he came to hide
E                                                  B   E
When he ran from you
E
In a private detective overcoat
F#m
And dirty dead men's shoes

E                                                     B   E
The pretty things of Knightsbridge
E                                                     B   E
Lying for of Minister of State
E
Are a far cry from the nod and wink
               F#m
Here at Traitors' Gate

                  G#m                                      C#m
'Cause the high heel he used to be has been ground down
             F#sus4
And he listens for the footsteps
E/B                                  B7
That would follow him around

E                  F#m                  G#m    E
To murder - my love - is a crime
       F#m G#m  A F#/A# Bsus4 G#/B# C#m A E
But will you   still love - a man out of time

E                                                           B   E
There's a tupenny ha'ppenny millionaire
E                                                           B   E
Looking for a fourpenny one
E
With a tight grip on the short hairs
             F#m
Of the public imagination

E                                                           B   E
But for his private wife and kids somehow
E                                                           B   E
Real life becomes a rumour
         E
Days of Dutch courage, just three French letters
           F#m
And a German sense of humor

G#m                                                C#m
He's got a mind like a sewer and a heart like a fridge
      F#sus4
He stands to be insulted
              E/B                      B7
And he pays for the privilege

E                 F#m                   G#m    E
To murder - my love - is a crime
       F#m G#m   A F#/A# Bsus4 G#/B# C#m A E
But will you    still love - a man out of time

E                                                B   E
The biggest wheels of industry
E                                                B   E
Retire sharp and short
E
And after the dinner overtures
F#m
Are nothing but an afterthought

E                                                      B   E
Somebody's creeping in the kitchen
  E                                                    B   E
There's a reputation to be made
E
Whose nerves are always on the knife's edge
        F#m
And who's up late polishing the blade

G#m                                        C#m
Love is always scarpering or cowering or fawning
        F#sus4
You drink yourself insensitive
        E/B                              B7
And hate yourself in the morning

E                 F#m                   G#m   E
To murder - my love - is a crime
       F#m G#m   A F#/A# Bsus4 G#/B# C#m A E
But will you    still love - a man out of time
