Chords

[Intro] Am G F G (x4) [Verse]
Am       G              F        G
See that shadow on the wall

Am       G              F        G
Doesn't look like me at all

Am            G
Head hung down

           F              G
Intentions meltin' on the ground

Am       G           F        G
Saddest shape I ever saw
[Chorus]
C
There's so much I need to do

Cmaj7
Before I get over you

C7
But I can't bother with it all

F        Fm
   Until after Mardi Gras

C
All that music in the air

Cmaj7
Happy people everywhere

C7
Make it hard to sing the blues

F          Fm
    Until Mardi Gras is through
[Verse]
Am       G            F        G
Put my loneliness away

Am       G            F        G
Save it for a rainy day

Am        G
Delay the pain

        F                G
Nothin' ventured nothin' gained

Am          G                  F        G
The time'll come but that's okay
[Chorus]
C
Right now I ain't got the time

Cmaj7
To sit at home and cry

C7
When outside it's carnival

F          Fm
    Maybe after Mardi Gras

C
I can learn to take it well

Cmaj7
Psychoanalyze myself

C7
But for now I'm havin' fun

F             Fm
       Until Mardi Gras is done
[Solo] Am G F G (x4) [Outro]
C
There's so much I need to do

Cmaj7
Before I get over you

C7
But I can't bother with it all

F           Fm
Until after Mardi Gras

C
Right now I ain't got the time

Cmaj7
To sit at home and cry

C7
When outside it's carnival

F         Fm
   Maybe after Mardi Gras
