Cdimb13 (8x789x)
[Verse 1]
Amaj7 Cdimb13
The hunted look, the haunted grace
Amaj7 Cdimb13
The empty laugh that you cultivate
Amaj7 Cdimb13
You fall into that false embrace
Amaj7 Cdimb13
And kiss the air about her face
Amaj7 Cdimb13
Who do you think you are?
[Verse 2]
Amaj7 Cdimb13
The tres bon mots you almost quote
Amaj7 Cdimb13
From your quiver of literary darts
Amaj7 Cdimb13
A thousand or so tuneless violins
Amaj7 Cdimb13
Thrilling your cheap little heart
Amaj7 Cdimb13
Who do you think you are?
[Bridge]
My Cmaj7cigarette Bm7burns right Am7down to the Bm7ash
My Cmaj7coffee Bm7cup Am7is unsBm7tained
The Bbmaj7waiter Am7hovers Gm7close at Am7hand
His Bbmaj7courtesy Am7strainedBm7
[Verse 3]
Amaj7 Cdimb13
Who do you think you are?
Amaj7 Cdimb13
I close with my regards
Amaj7 Cdimb13
Well I'm the red-face gentleman
Amaj7 Cdimb13
Caught in this picture postcard
Amaj7 Cdimb13
Who do you think you are?
[Bridge]
Cmaj7Trying my Bm7best to make the Am7best of your Bm7absence
Cmaj7Though the Bm7joke gets Am7tired and Bm7sordid
Bbmaj7Sea-shell Am7hearts get Gm7trampled under Am7foot
Bbmaj7Punchlines Am7unrewBm7arded C
[Verse 4]
(Ad libitum)
Amaj7 Cdimb13 Amaj7 Cdimb13
But even at this distance it's not easy to accept
Amaj7 Cdimb13
The vision that I chase returns
Amaj7 Cdimb13
when I least expect it
Amaj7 Cdimb13
I've fallen from your tired embrace
Amaj7 Cdimb13
I kiss the air around the place
Amaj7 Cdimb13
that should be your face
Amaj7
