Intro:
Bm7 â€“ Em7
D/A - A7sus4 â€“ D/A â€“ A7sus4
G â€“ F â€“ D

Dmaj9            D           G
All   the people at this par-ty
They’ve got a lot of style
D                                 C
  They’ve got stamps of many coun-tries
They’ve got passport smiles

         Bm7
Some are friend-ly, some are cutting
         Em7
Some are watch-ing it from the wings
         D/A              A7sus4 D/A
Some are stand-ing in the cen- - ter
       A7sus4
Giving to    get something

Dmaj9                          G
      Photo beauty gets at-ten- tion
                             D
Then her eye paint’s running down
                        C
She’s got a rose in her teeth
And a lampshade crown

Bm7
One minute she’s so happy
           Em7
Then she’s cry-ing on someone’s knee
         D/A               A7sus4
Saying, â€śLaugh-ing and cry-ing
D/A            A7sus4
You know, it’s the   same release”

  Dmaj9
I told  you when I met you
      G
I was cra-zy
             D
Cry for us all, beauty
                     C
Cry for Eddie in the cor-ner
Thinking he’s nobody
    Bm7
And Jack behind his joker
               Em7
And stone-cold Grace behind her fan
    D/A                  A7sus4 D/A
And me  in my frightened si- - -lence
         A7sus4
Thinking I     don’t understand

  Dmaj9                G
I feel  like I’m sleep- ing
             D
Can you wake me?
                   C
You seem to have a broad-er sensibility
         Bm7
I’m just liv-ing on nerves and feelings
       Em7
With a weak and a lazy mind
    D/A                 A7sus4 D/A
And com-ing to people’s par- - ties
     A7sus4
Fumb-ling   deaf, dumb, and blind

  Dmaj9
I wish  I had more sense of humor
G                 F D
  Keeping the sad- -ness at bay
D                        C
  Throwing the lightness on these things

              Bm7  Em7  D/A  A7sus4  D/A  A7sus4
Laughing it all  away
(3x)

G            F  D
Laugh-ing it all away
