[Verse 1]
F# A#m
As I recall it, the sun was high,
C#m7 F#7 Cb
Yellow in the blue, blue sky.
Cbm F# D#m7
You couldn't quite make out this boy,
D G#m7 C#7
He used life as a toy.
F# A#m
In a Marie-Antoinette room
C#m7 F#7 Cb
We were introduced soon,
Cbm F# D#m7
I was me and you were you,
D G#m7 C#7
How do you do ?
[Verse 2]
F# A#m
Raggedy and tousle-haired
C#m7 F#7 Cb
He looked as though he never cared
Cbm F# D#m7
To run a comb where a comb should run,
D G#m7 C#7
Freckles from the sun.
F# A#m
Many good times we have had,
C#m7 F#7 Cb
We been happy, we been sad,
Cbm F# D#m7
But I think we both feel glad
D G#m7 C#7
That this life is so mad, mad, mad.

He used life as a toy.

Many good times we have had,

We been happy, baby, we been sad,

But I think we both feel glad
