Evita sings softly, sings softly she sings. Then I sing A B A
Chorus
After (F#)all these years alive, I have (B)held you in my eyes
I am (C#)not about to be like the (E)woman that I see

Is just (C#)there accruing debt, wait I (E)haven't finished yet.
I am (F#)not about to be like the (B)man you try to see

Splash my belly with some too A B A
Fed my bed the captain's daughter A B F#
Fed my belly some food too. A B A
Chorus
After (F#)all these years alive, I have (B)held you in my eyes
And I've (C#)had a hundred meals, and I (E)know just how it feels
To be (F#)born and so you are, alone and (B)standing by the bar
And you've (C#)spent all you can get so you (E)smoke your cigarette
And the (F#)smoke gets in your eyes So you (B)focus on the flies
That are (C#)buzzing in your ear And your (E)waitress isn't near
So (F#)please,
so (B)please,
so (C#)please,
so (E)
Please command me F# B C# E progression
Cause I feel things are going awry
Jam on the F# B C# E progression
