Oh, I'm sorry. Forgot where I was 
 
E 
I try to think about Elvis, Memphis, Oprah in the afternoon 
                     A                           E 
I try to think about palm trees, fig leaves, the creature from the Black Lagoon 
                                                                    C#m      B 
I try to think about high heels, and good deals, anything to get me through 
                         A               B                E 
I just can't concentrate... you're all I think about these days 
 
 
I try to contemplate the cosmos, what goes round and round the sky at night 
I try to think about champange, freight trains slowly rolling out of sight 
I try to focus on the headlines, street crimes, every time I think I might 
I just can't concentrate... you're all I think about these days 
 
        C#m              F#           A                E 
My mind wanders where it will when it settles right on you 
     C#m               F#        A                 B 
I forget what I should say, I forget what I should do 
 
*Guitar Solo - D E A B E* 
 
My mind wanders where it will when it settles right on you 
I forget what I should say, I forget what I should do 
 
*Spoken* 
Ah, come on, Patty. Get it together 
 
*Key Change - F#* 
                     F# 
I try to think about Shakespeare, leap year, the Beatles or the Rolling Stones 
                     B                   F# 
I try to think about hair-do's, tattoos, sushi bars and saxophones 
                                                                         D#m    C# 
I try to think about the talk shows, new clothes but I guess I should've known 
                         B                 C#               D#m G#  B 
I just can't concentrate... you're all the think about these days 
             C#            F# 
you're all I think about these days
