Intro:
C                              Dm
You can walk away from your mistakes
F                                 C
You can turn your back on what you do
C                               Dm
Just a little smile is all it takes
F                                       C
Yeah, you can have your cake and eat it too

Am6     C      F         C       G
Loneliness will get to you somehow
F              G         C
But everybody loves you now

Bb            F                 C
Ah, they all want your white body
Bb        F             C
And they await your reply
Bb        F               C           C (B)       Am
Ah, but between you and me and the Staten Island ferry
G  Gbdim       Fm
        So do I

C                                Dm
All the people want to know your name
F                                      C
Soon there will be lines outside your door
C                                Dm
Feelings do not matter in your game
F                                         C
Yeah, 'cause nothing's gonna touch you anymore

        Am6     C      F    C       G
So your life is only living anyhow
F               G         C
And everybody loves you now

C                                      Dm
Close your eyes when you don't want to see
F                                    C
Stay at home when you don't want to go
C                              Dm
Only speak to those who will agree
F                                                C
Yeah, and close your mind when you don't want to know

Am6      C        F     C       G
You have lost you innocence somehow
F                        C
But everybody loves you now

Bb               F                    C
Ah, you know that nothing lasts forever
Bb              F            C
And it's all been done before
Bb          F              C                      Am
Ah, but you ain't got the time to go to Cold Spring Harbor
G Gbdim   Fm
No more

C                               Dm
See how all the people gather 'round
F                                  C
Hey, isn't it a thrill to see them crawl?
C                                     Dm
Keep your eyes ahead and don't look down
F                                           C
Yeah, and lock yourself inside your sacred wall

Am6     C      F         C       G
This is what you wanted; ain't you proud?
F                  G         C
'Cause everybody loves you now
