A A9 A A9 A A7/9 D9 D6/9 Bbm7
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 A9 A A9 A A7/9 D9 D6/9 Bbm7
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 A9 A A9 A A7/9 D9 D6/9 Bbm7
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#m5-/7 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?
