Intro: Am Am7 D G Em Am Am7 D  Em Em7 
 
Am7        D     G 
     Empty glass 
 
Gets another round 
Am         D      E 
   Squeaky chair 
              Em 
Makes another sound 
 Am7              B 
There is a gentle breeze 
A/E             Em 
playing in your hair 
Am          B7 
Come take a bow 
G 
while you're still 
    D 
all there 
          Am Am7 D 
It's what it is 
      G           Em 
It's what it was 
               Am Am7 D 
It's what will be here 
   Em Em7 
after us 
  Am      C/D  D7 
There is no memory 
G 
  There's no recall 
Am        D 
  No recollections 
 E    Em 
at all 
Am7          B 
   Your dark glasses 
Em 
sliding down your nose 
    A              B 
Now bring these proceedings 
  Cmaj7    D 
to a close 
     G/D        Am  D 
It's what there is 
     G            Em 
It's what there was 
         Am         D 
It's what will be here 
  Em 
after us 
Am        B 
Your dark glasses 
Em                     Em7 
sliding down your nose 
Am7             B 
Bring these proceedings 
C6        D6  Am7 D G Em Am  D E Em7  D 
to a close 
 Am      Am7     D       G 
You can make it all worthwhile 
               Em 
You can lend yourself some style 
Am                 D 
You can give them all the reasons 
Em               D 
All the facts that you have seasoned 
Am      Am7         D       G 
You can hear them hoot and holler 
            Em 
As you come across a scholar 
   Am        C6  D            Em 
You can set you name in lights 
         D 
You can make two wrongs a right 
 
 Am      Am7     D       G 
You can make it all worthwhile 
               Em 
You can lend yourself some style 
Am                 D 
You can give them all the reasons 
Em               D 
All the facts that you have seasoned 
Am                D       G 
You can hear them hoot and holler 
            Em 
As you come across a scholar
