Key: A
Introduction:
A A9A A A7(9) D9 D6(9)
So I walk a little too fast, and I drive a little too fast
Gm7 A A7 D9 Bm7
And I'm reckless it's true, but what else can you do
Em7 Em9 A
At the end of a love affair
A A9A A A7(9) D9 D6(9)
So I talk a little too much, and I laugh a little too much
G A A7 D9 B7
And my voice is too loud when I'm out in a crowd
Em7 Em9 A
So that people are apt to stare
Bridge
Em7 G6 Em7 A7
Do they know, do they care, that it's only
Em7 G6 Em7 A7
That I'm lonely, and low as can be
G G/F# Em7 Em9 A7
And the smile on my face isn't really a smile at all
A A9A A A7(9) D9 D6(9) Bb7M
So I smoke a little too much, and I joke a little too much
Gm7 A7(13) D9 Bm7
And the tunes I request are not always the best
A Em7 F#7
But the ones where the trumpets blare
Bm Bm7/E Gm7 A7M C#m7(b5) F#7
So I go at a maddening pace, and I pretend that it's taking his place,
Em7 A7 Em9 A D6
But what else can you do at the end of a love affair
