Am7
You walked into the party
F Am7
like you were walking onto a yacht;
your hat strategic'lly dipped below one eye,
F Am7
your scarf, it was apricot.
Fmaj7 G Em7 Am7
You had one eye in the mirror as
F C
you watched yourself gavotte
and all the girls
G F
dreamed that they'd be your partner,
they'd be your partner and
C
you're so vain,
Dm7 C Am7
you probb'ly think this song is about you, you're so vain.
Fmaj9 G13
I'll bet you think this song is about you.
Don't you? Don't you?
Am7
You had me several years ago,
F Am7
when I was still quite naive;
well, you said that we make such a pretty pair,
F Am7
and that you would never leave.
Fmaj7 G Em7 Am7
But you gave away the things you loved
F C
and one of them was me,
I had some dreams,
G F
they were clouds in my coffee, clouds in my coffee and
C
you're so vain,
Dm7 C Am7
you probb'ly think this song is about you, you're so vain.
Fmaj9 G13
I'll bet you think this song is about you.
Don't you? Don't you?

Well, I hear you went up to Saratoga,
F Am7
and your horse nat'rally won;
then you flew your Lear jet up to Nova Scotia
F Am7
to see the total eclipse of the sun.
Well, you're where you should be all the time
F C
and when you're not you're with some underworld spy
