You're always looking at yourself
A                                E
Deciding what you do not want to see
    E
You paint yourself with light at night
A                      E
You rewrite your history
E
The apartment that you got
           A 
Has got no fire escape
              E
What will you do?
              B
What will you do?
        E
And the job that you've got
             A          
Has made you work so hard
               E
You don't know who you are
               B
You don't know who you are

A                          B                  
You say that you're taking nothing for granted
               E           
But your plans don't change
           A                               B
And you're hoping that everything's easier
                        E         
By the time you reach your old age
A                                
I'm trying to cool you like a fan
           B                      E  
But you're making it so obvious I can't
            A
And there's always something
               B                    E
For you to get over when I disappear away

A E A E A E 

E
Your heart is tied up in a joke
     A                        E
And it's all whips, rums, and rain
E                              A
All the titles you so casually gave away
                           E
Will come back and be your name
E
You did forget your memory
   A                         E
Of all you promised you just yesterday
