Am7/D
I was grinding through my day gig
Stackin' cutouts at the Strand*
When in walks Franny from NYU
We were quite an item back then
Dm7/G
We talked about her films and shows and Cds
And I don't know what else*
Am7/D
She said, yeah, Hollywood's been good to me
But tell me - how about yourself
Cmaj7 F13
I'm still working on that novel
Ebmaj7/F F13
But I'm just about to quit
D Db7
'Cause I'm worrying about the future now
B7 Bbmaj7
Or maybe this is it
Fmaj7 B7+9 Bbmaj7 E13-9
It's not all that I thought it would be
Bb/C B7+9 Gsus4/Bb Bbmaj13
What a shame a bout me
Am7/D
She said, talk to me, do you ever see
Anybody else from our old crew*
Bobby Dakine won the Bunsen Prize
Now he's coming out with something new
Dm7/G
Alan owns a chain of Steamer Heavens
And Barry is the software king*
Am7/D
And somebody told me in the early 80's
You were gonna be the Next Big Thing
Cmaj7 F13
Well now that was just a rumour
Ebmaj7/F F13
But I guess I'm doin' fine
D Db7
Three weeks out of the rehab
B7 Bbmaj7
Living one day at a time
Fmaj7 B7+9 Bbmaj7 E13-9
Sneaking up on the new century
Bb/C B7+9 Gsus4/Bb Bbmaj13
What a shame a bout me
Am7/D Gm7/C
What a shame about me
Bbm7/Eb Fmaj9
I'm thinking of a major Jane Street sunrise
Bb13 Csus4/Eb Ebm7/Ab
And the goddess on the fire escape was you

Am7/D
We both ran out of small talk
The connection seemed to go dead*
I was about to say, hey, have a nice life
When she touched my hand and said:
Dm7/G
You know I just had this great idea
This could be very cool*
Why don't we grab a cab to my hotel
Am7/D
And make believe we're back at our old school
Cmaj7 F13
I said babe you look de licious
Ebmaj7/F F13
And you're standing very close
D Db7
But like this is Lower Broadway
B7 Bbmaj7
And you're talking to a ghost
Fmaj7 B7+9 Bbmaj7 E13-9
Take a good look it's easy to see
Bbmaj7 Ebmaj9 E7 F
What a shame about me
Bb/C B7+9 Gsus4/Bb Bbmaj13
What a shame a bout me
|Am7/D | | | |
