[Intro]
Bm – Em
D - A – D – A
G – F – D
D G
All the people at this par-ty
They’ve got a lot of style
D C
They’ve got stamps of many coun-tries
They’ve got passport smiles
Bm
Some are friend-ly, some are cutting
Em
Some are watch-ing it from the wings
D A D
Some are stand-ing in the center
A
Giving to get something
D G
Photo beauty gets at-ten- tion
D
Then her eye paint’s running down
C
She’s got a rose in her teeth
And a lampshade crown
Bm
One minute she’s so happy
Em
Then she’s cry-ing on someone’s knee
D A
Saying, “Laugh-ing and cry-ing
D A
You know, it’s the same release”
D
I told you when I met you
G
I was cra-zy
D
Cry for us all, beauty
C
Cry for Eddie in the cor-ner
Thinking he’s nobody
Bm
And Jack behind his joker
Em
And stone-cold Grace behind her fan
D A D
And me in my frightened silence
A
Thinking I don’t understand
D G
I feel like I’m sleeping
D
Can you wake me?
C
You seem to have a broad-er sensibility
Bm
I’m just liv-ing on nerves and feelings
Em
With a weak and a lazy mind
D A D
And com-ing to people’s par- - ties
A
Fumb-ling deaf, dumb, and blind
D
I wish I had more sense of humor
G F D
Keeping the sad- -ness at bay
D C
Throwing the lightness on these things
Bm Em D A D A
Laughing it all away
(3x)
G F D
Laugh-ing it all away
