Among Other Foolish Things

	  		Intro 



verse 1 
C                  Am 
Lily, I don't know how to start this letter 
C                        Am 
I'm writing you from the beach where I'm living 
C                Am     
I got a disco outside of my window 
Fmaj7 / F                      G 
I love all these kids, but the good times are killing me 


C                  Am 
I got a picture of you on the dashboard 
C                      Am 
So I can feel like you're watching right over me 
C                         Am 
I hope someday you're gonna move to the city 
Fmaj7 / F                                 G  
Cause the lights in this town, they don't brighten up anything 



Am        F        C              G     Am            F        C            G 
And they say such foolish things, like "Love, love, love, love is all you need" 
Am             F                 C             G            Fmaj7    G 
But everything inside is saying 'Danger, baby, love's gonna leave' 
                                         C   G    F                          C   G   F 
So I played your sympathy ( Voc.: Sym-path-y , have mercy on me (BV: Have Mer-cy) 
             Am            F             C            G      Am   F            C             G            
Cause I been hurt, I been stung, by the good name of love, 'til I threw my own heart in the sea... 
                         C

verse 2 
C                    Am 
And I don't mind the nights and the low light 
C                    Am 
We spin 'round like records in the apartment 
C                      Am 
You still remind me of Marianne Faithfull 
Fmaj7 / F                     G            
Lookin' like a picture taken outta the '60s 


 
Am     F        C        G            Am         F        C            G 
And we say such foolish things, like 'Love love love, love is all we need' 
    Am           F                C              G           Fmaj7    G 
But everything inside is saying, "Danger, baby, love's gonna leave" 
                             C   G    F                            C   G   F 
So I played your sympathy (BV: Sym-path-y) , be patient with me (BV: Have Mer-cy) 
             Am            F             C            G      Am   F            C             G   
Cause I been hurt, I been stung, by the good name of love, 'til I threw my own heart in the sea...

And I've taken a dive on a smoky set of eyes

I been so deceived and I've been the one lyin' 
          Am            F          C           G       Fmaj7    G 
And there was this one time when I painted a masterpiece 
                       C
