[C]
[F] [Am] [Dm]
[G] [C]
[F]
[C] How we take our [Gb] time so
[Em] [G] nonchalant
And spend [Bb] our nights so bon-de [F] -bon
We dress [C] our [Bb] days in silk and [F] rose
The money
[C] comes, the [A] money
[Dm] goes
We know [D]
it's all [E] a [D] passing [C] [F] [G] phase
[F] [G]
[C] We light our [Am] lamps for [G] atmosphere
And hang [Bb] our hopes [C] on
[F] chandeliers
We're going wrong, [Bb] we're gaining [F] weight
We're sleeping
[C] long and [A] far too
[Dm] late
And so [D]
it's time [E] to [D] change [F] our [G] ways
[F] [Em] But [F] I've [G] loved [C] in [F] vain
[Am] [F]
[C]
[F]
[C] Now as we
[Gb] indulge in things [G] refined
We hide our [Bb] hearts from harder [F] times
A string of [C] pearls, [Bb] a foreign [F] car
[Dm] [F] Or [Dm] we can [C] only [A] go so [Dm] far
On
[D] caviar and
[C] [F] cabernet
[G]
We [F] [G]
[C] drown our [Gb] doubts in dry [G] champagne
And soothe [Bb] our souls with fine [F] cocaine
I don't know [C] why [Bb] I even [F] care
We'll get so [C] high and [A] get nowhere
[Dm] We'll have [D] to change [E] our [D] jaded [A] [G]
ways
[F] [G] But [Dm] I've [G] loved [C] in vain
[D] So
[G]
[Bb]
[F]
[Bb] [F]
[Dm]
[C] [A]
[Dm]
[D]
[A] [G]
[F] [G]
[C] before we [Gb] end and then
[G] begin
We'll drink [Gm] a toast [C] to how [F] it's been
A few more [C] hours [Bb] to be
[F] complete
A few more
[C] nights on [A] silent
[Dm] sheets
A few [D] more times that I can [C] [G] say
[Dm] [Em] I'm [A] [G] happy [C] in vain
[F]
[C] [F]
