[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
