[Intro]
Am G F G (x4)
[Verse]
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]
A
There's so much I need to do
Amaj7
Before I get over you
A7
But I can't bother with it all
D Dm
Until after Mardi Gras
A
All that music in the air
Amaj7
Happy people everywhere
A7
Make it hard to sing the blues
D Dm
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]
A
Right now I ain't got the time
Amaj7
To sit at home and cry
A7
When outside it's carnival
D Dm
Maybe after Mardi Gras
A
I can learn to take it well
Amaj7
Psychoanalyze myself
A7
But for now I'm havin' fun
D Dm
Until Mardi Gras is done
[Solo]
Am G F G (x4)
[Outro]
A
There's so much I need to do
Amaj7
Before I get over you
A7
But I can't bother with it all
D Dm
Until after Mardi Gras
A
Right now I ain't got the time
Amaj7
To sit at home and cry
A7
When outside it's carnival
D Dm
Maybe after Mardi Gras
