Bm7 – Em7

G – F – D
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
