The Agony Of Lafitte

Gm Cm
all i ever asked of you
F Bb
a copy of garage days and to tell me the truth
Eb D7
ain't no one watching you exit ventura highway
Gm G

Gm Cm
it's like i knew two of you man
F Bb
the one before and after we shook hands
Eb D7
taking the calls but in all forgetting what's been
said
Gm G

Gm Cm
and after dark in a cab in l.a.
F Bb
forget about the meter man these are salad days
Eb D7 Gm
comes on the radio comes on and what's being said

F Bb Cm Dm Eb
is you're no better than sylvia, no better than...
Bb Cm Dm Eb
no better than sylvia
Gm Cm F Bb
where you are and where you've been and where you've
gone
Eb D7 G
Oh

Gm Cm
here's a mark he's a mark on the page
F Bb
dishing out the wisdom of this reflexive age
Eb D7
dotting the eyes with an eye for defining what you
were
Gm G

Gm Cm
so when you do that line tonight
F Bb
remember that it came at a steep price
Eb D7
and keep telling yourself there's more to you than her

F Bb Cm Dm Eb
but you're no better than sylvia, no better than...
Bb Cm Dm Eb
no better than sylvia
Gm Cm F Bb
where you gone where you been and where you gone
Eb D7 Gm G
oh no.

Gm
(vibes and whoosh sounds)
