E F#m7 E/G# (or notes E F# E)
[Verse 1]
A C#m
As I recall it, the sun was high,
Em7 A7 D
Yellow in the blue, blue sky.
Dm A F#m7
You couldn't quite make out this boy,
F Bm7 E7
He used life as a toy.
A C#m
In a Marie-Antoinette room
Em7 A7 D
We were introduced soon,
Dm A F#m7
I was me and you were you,
F Bm7 E7
How do you do ?
[Verse 2]
A C#m
Raggedy and tousle-haired
Em7 A7 D
He looked as though he never cared
Dm A F#m7
To run a comb where a comb should run,
F Bm7 E7
Freckles from the sun.
A C#m
Many good times we have had,
Em7 A7 D
We been happy, we been sad,
Dm A F#m7
But I think we both feel glad
F Bm7 E7
That this life is so mad, mad, mad.

He used life as a toy.
A C#m
Many good times we have had,
Em7 A7 D
We been happy, baby, we been sad,
Dm A F#m7
But I think we both feel glad

That this life is so mad.
