So I walk a lit-tle too fast 
-5  5   7   7  7  -6  -5*  -5
and I drive a lit-tle too fast
 5  -3*  -6   -6   -6   -6
And I'm reck-less it's true, 
 7*  -7*  -6  -6  -6  -6
but what else can you do
-5* 5*  5  5 -3* 5   5    5
At the end of a love af-fair?

-6 7  -7 -7 -7   7  -6   6
So I talk a lit-tle too much 
-5  5   7   7  7  -6  -5*  -5
and I laugh a lit-tle too much
 5  -3* -6   -6 -6   -6 
And my voice is too loud 
 7*  -7* -6  -6 -6 -6
when I'm out in a crowd
-5* 5*   5   5  -3*  5  5    5
So that peo-ple are apt to stare

-5  6    -6   -5  -6   -7
Do they know, do they care, 
 -6   -5  -6 -6  -5   6   -6  -5
that it's on-ly that I'm lone-ly
-6  -7  -6 -5  -6
And low as can be?
 6  -6    7   6  7   -8
And the smile on my face 
-7  7   -7  -8 8  -9   -9 -9
Is-n't real-ly a smile at all!

-6 7  -7  -7 -7   7  -6   6
So I smoke a lit-tle too much 
-5  5   7   7  7  -6  -5*  -5
and I drink a lit-tle too much
 5  -3*   -6 -6 -6  -6    
And the tunes I re-quest 
7*  -7* -6  -6  -6   -6
are not al-ways the best
-5*  5*  5     5   -3*   7    7    8
But the ones where the trump-ets blare!

-7*-7-7 -7 7 -7  -7   7   -7*
So I go at a mad-den-ing pace, 
-7  7 -6   6    6    -5   6   6  -5    7 
and I pre-tend that it's tak-ing her place
-6   6    -5  -5   5  -5
But what else can you do, 
-5  5  -5  -6-7* -9  6  -6
at the end of a love af-fair?
