[Verse]
AIn the approach of midlife
F#mI received a letter from an Deloquent Afriend
ASaying he was touched by my progress
F#mA kind of poem to the words that DI’d peAnned
AMy ego under atF#mtack I felt myself shrinking Dback
From his embrace into a place that I Aknow
AFelt relief in reF#msentment couldn’t see what it Dmeant
The jealous echo of a hurt long aAgo
[Bridge]
Ddim* ( D )
I’m so vain
E* A*
Thought this song was about me
Ddim* ( D )
Now it’s gone down the drain
E* A*
Turning against me
Calling me Gnames
F#m E (silent)
And me, well I
[Chorus]
I’m still screwing aE7sus4round with a E7portaAstudio
You’re in the Erain, arguing with A/Eyour girl-
Faugfriend it’s the D/F#same
ERules and reAstraints
F#mI strum and I Dscrawl
EWatching the A/Epaint stay Faugwet on the D/F#walls
EThe mercury Afalls
And F#meverything’s Bmchanged
ENothing has Achanged
F#mNothing has Bmchanged
EEverything's Achanged
[Verse]
AI’m turning over a new page
F#mI’m taking stock of all the Dgifts I can Asee
AI’m sorry if I have hurt you
F#mIt’s been so hard to find the Dfreedom in Ame
AI’m dedicating this F#msong to someone I know who's Dgone
Cut all my records with a steadying Ahand
AI’m talkin' 'bout Mr F#mBlair up in his room in his Dchair
Working some magic I still can’t underAstand
[Bridge]
Ddim* ( D )
Is that all gone
E* A*
No autumn light through the window
Ddim* ( D )
No, man the cut's still on
E* A*
Between the tracks, hear the wind blow
Two seconds of Gtime
And F#min we Efade
[Chorus]
I’m still screwing aE7sus4round with a E7portaAstudio
You’re in the Erain, arguing with your A/Egirl-
Faugfriend it's the D/F#same
ERules and reAstraints
F#mI strum and I Dscrawl
EWatching the A/Epaint stay Faugwet on the D/F#walls
The Emercury Afalls
And F#meverything’s cBmhanged
ENothing has cAhanged
F#mNothing has cBmhanged
EEverything's cAhanged
