E                             A
    I've been contemplating,  suicide
E                             A
    But it really doesn't,    suit my style,
E                             A
    So I think I'll just act, bored instead
E                             A
    And contain the blood I would've shed
E                             A
    She makes me feel so ill at ease
E                             A
    My heart is really on it's knees
E                             A
    But I keep a poker face so well
E                             A
    That even mother couldn't tell

[Chorus]
(That my)
E
baby's so vain that she is
A
almost a mirror, And the
E
sound of her name, sends a
A
  permanent shiver, down my
E
Spiii-yi-yiiii-yi-yiiii-yi-yiyiyi

[Verse]
E                             A
I keep her photograph against my heart
E                             A
For in my life she plays a starring part
E                             A
All alcohol and cigarettes
E                             A
I've got no use for, cheap regrets
E                             A
She makes me feel so, ill at ease
E                             A
My heart is really on it's knees
E                             A
But I keep a poker face so well
E                             A
That even mother couldn't tell

E
