Intro:
Bm7 - Em7
D/A - A7sus4 - D/A - A7sus4
G - F - D

Dmaj9      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

     Bm7
Some are friend-ly, some are cutting
     Em7
Some are watch-ing it from the wings
     D/A       A7sus4 D/A
Some are stand-ing in the cen- - ter
    A7sus4
Giving to  get something

Dmaj9             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

Bm7
One minute she's so happy
      Em7
Then she's cry-ing on someone's knee
     D/A        A7sus4
Saying, "Laugh-ing and cry-ing
D/A      A7sus4
You know, it's the  same release"

 Dmaj9
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
  Bm7
And Jack behind his joker
        Em7
And stone-cold Grace behind her fan
  D/A         A7sus4 D/A
And me in my frightened si- - -lence
     A7sus4
Thinking I   don't understand

 Dmaj9        G
I feel like I'm sleep- ing
       D
Can you wake me?
          C
You seem to have a broad-er sensibility
     Bm7
I'm just liv-ing on nerves and feelings
    Em7
With a weak and a lazy mind
  D/A         A7sus4 D/A
And com-ing to people's par- - ties
   A7sus4
Fumb-ling  deaf, dumb, and blind

 Dmaj9
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

       Bm7 Em7 D/A A7sus4 D/A A7sus4
Laughing it all away
(3x)

G      F D
Laugh-ing it all away
