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
