Intro: Bm7Em7 D - A7sus4DA7sus4 GFD
Dmaj9          D          G
All the people at this party
They’ve got a lot of style
D                                C
  They’ve got stamps of many countries
They’ve got passport smiles
         Bm7
Some are friendly, some are cutting

         Em7
Some are watching it from the wings

         D/A             A7sus4 D
Some are standing in the cen  - ter

       A7sus4
Giving to get something

Dmaj9                       G
      Photo beauty gets attention

                             D
Then her eye paint’s running down

                        C
She’s got a rose in her teeth
And a lampshade crown
Bm7
One minute she’s so happy

           Em7
Then she’s crying on someone’s knee

         D               A7sus4
Saying, “Laughing and crying

D              A7sus4
You know, it’s the same release”

  Dmaj9
I told you when I met you

      G
I was crazy

             D
Cry for us all, beauty

                     C
Cry for Eddie in the corner
Thinking he’s nobody
    Bm7
And Jack behind his joker

               Em7
And stone-cold Grace behind her fan

    D                   A7sus4 D
And me in my frightened si  -  lence

         A7sus4
Thinking I don’t understand

  Dmaj9              G
I feel like I’m sleeping

             D
Can you wake me?

                   C
You seem to have a broader sensibility

         Bm7
I’m just living on nerves and feelings

       Em7
With a weak and a lazy mind

    D                  A7sus4 D
And coming to people’s par- - ties

    A7sus4
Fumbling deaf, dumb, and blind

  Dmaj9
I wish I had more sense of humor

G                 F D
  Keeping the sad - ness at bay

D                        C
  Throwing the lightness on these things

              Bm7  Em7  D  A7sus4  D  A7sus4
Laughing it all  away
(x3)
G           F  D
Laughing it all away
