  			A  A9 A        A9   A  A7/9         D9     D6/9       Bb7M   
So I walk a little too fast, and I drive a little too fast  
        Gm7            A    A7       D9          Bm7  
And I'm reckless it's true, but what else can you do  
       Em7      Em9    A  
At the end of a love affair  
A  A9 A         A9  A  A7/9         D9     D6/9       Bb7M   
So I talk a little too much, and I laugh a little too much  
        G            A    A7      D9        B7  
And my voice is too loud when I'm out in a crowd  
        Em7    Em9          A  
So that people are apt to stare  

Bridge

        Em7            G6              Em7  A7  
Do they know, do they care, that it's only   
         Em7         G6         Em7  A7  
That I'm lonely, and low as can be  
         G          G/F#       Em7      Em9      A7  
And the smile on my face isn't really a smile at all  
A  A9 A         A9   A  A7/9         D9     D6/9       Bb7M  
So I smoke a little too much, and I joke a little too much  
         Gm7       A7/13         D9         Bm7  
And the tunes I request are not always the best  
         A              Em7      F#7  
But the ones where the trumpets blare  
     Bm     Bm7/E      Gm7            A7M            C#m5-/7      F#7  
So I go at a maddening pace, and I pretend that it's taking his place  
         Em7          A7        Em9       A       D6  
But what else can you do at the end of a love affair
