Cheers

           C         Csus2
Thanks for everything

    Am                Asus2    Am Asus2
You hung me out by my heart

Em                 F
    You’re just so selfish, Jean,

         C  Csus2    C Csus2
Yes, you are

     C  Csus2
Hey, you

         C       Csus2
Threw it all away

   Am           Asus2   Am Asus2
By holding everything in

Em                   F
    Hey, Jean, don’t rock the boat

               C   Csus2    C Csus2
When you can’t swim

[Chorus 1]

       E            E7              Am              F
With a perfect understanding of the finer things in life

  E              E7               Am                D7
A quite alarming knack of knowing when to twist the knife

G      G7
Ooooh, ooooh!

        C   Csus2  C Csus2
Selfish Jean

[Verse 2]

          C  Csus2
Here’s to you

        C         Csus2
Who had everything

    Am                 Asus2  Am Asus2
And left it out on the shelf

Em                 F
    There’s no one else to blame

           C   Csus2    C Csus2
Except yourself

[Chorus 2]

        E             E7            Am            F
Well, a perfect combination of good etiquette and charm

    E                  E7             Am         D7
You keep the chocolate biscuits wired to a car alarm

G      G7
Ooooh, ooooh!

        C   Csus2  C Csus2
Selfish Jean

[Bridge]

          Am
Well, I’m standing on my own

And this house is not a home

        F
It’s so sad to see you go

Things are high, things are low

         Dm7
And it’s good to know you know

If you’ve got nowhere to go

                G
Well, you could spend the night with me

                                        C   Csus2
There will be no guarantee that I’ll be here

[Verse 3]

       C      Csus2
In the morning

   Am                Asus2  Am Asus2
Or any time that you call

Em             F
    I hear you snoring, Jean,

            C   Csus2    C Csus2
Through the wall

    C   Csus2
So, hey,

          C         Csus2
Here’s to everything

   Am                Asus2   Am Asus2
To peace and love in our time

Em                F
    Ah, Jean, the slate is clean

              C   Csus2  C Csus2
I guess we’re fine

[Chorus 3]

        E              E7
Well, I don’t expect a miracle

    Am            F
Not asking you to change

E                   E7
If you can’t see me happy

           Am             F
Well, just look the other way

G      G7
Ooooh, ooooh!

        C   Csus2  C Csus2

G        G7
Haaaaaaaaaaaaaah
