Verse 1
G Cadd9
I?ve been contemplating suicide
G Cadd9
But it really doesn?t suit my style
G Cadd9
So I think I?ll just act bored instead
G Cadd9
To contain the blood I could have shed
Bridge
G Cadd9
She makes me feel so weary
G Cadd9
My heart is really on its knees
G Cadd9
But I keep a poker face so well
G Cadd9
That even mother could not tell
Chorus
G Cadd9
That my baby?s so vain, she is almost a mirror
G Cadd9
And the sound of her name sends a permanent shiver
G Cadd9
Down my spi-i-i-i-i-i-ine
G Cadd9
Down my spi-i-i-i-i-i-ine
V2
Well I keep her photograph near my heart
Cause in my life she plays a starring part
Our love could hold on cigarettes
There is no room for these cheap regrets
Repeat bridge
Repeat chorus
