Am G F G See that shadow on the wall Am G F G Doesn't look like me at all Am G Head hung down F G Intentions meltin' on the ground Am G F G Saddest shape I ever saw [Chorus] C There's so much I need to do Cmaj7 Before I get over you C7 But I can't bother with it all F Fm Until after Mardi Gras C All that music in the air Cmaj7 Happy people everywhere C7 Make it hard to sing the blues F Fm Until Mardi Gras is through [Verse] Am G F G Put my loneliness away Am G F G Save it for a rainy day Am G Delay the pain F G Nothin' ventured nothin' gained Am G F G The time'll come but that's okay [Chorus] C Right now I ain't got the time Cmaj7 To sit at home and cry C7 When outside it's carnival F Fm Maybe after Mardi Gras C I can learn to take it well Cmaj7 Psychoanalyze myself C7 But for now I'm havin' fun F Fm Until Mardi Gras is done [Solo] Am G F G (x4) [Outro] C There's so much I need to do Cmaj7 Before I get over you C7 But I can't bother with it all F Fm Until after Mardi Gras C Right now I ain't got the time Cmaj7 To sit at home and cry C7 When outside it's carnival F Fm Maybe after Mardi Gras [x2 Outro]
