CAPO: 4th Fret



INTRO:  *Spoken* 

"And, action!"

"Oh, I'm sorry. Forgot where I was."

"Cut! Cut! Cut! Cut! Cut! Cut! Patty, please, I know you can do this."

C

I try to think about Elvis, Memphis

Oprah in the afternoon 
                     F 
I try to think about palm trees, fig leaves
    C 
The creature from the Black Lagoon


I try to think about high heels, and good deals
                   Am       G 
Anything to get me through 
                           F  
I just can't concentrate
             G              C 
You're all I think about these days 

 
N.C.                     C
I try to contemplate the cosmos, what goes

'Round and 'round the sky at night 
                     F 
I try to think about champagne, freight trains
C 
Slowly rolling out of sight 



I try to focus on the headlines, street crimes
                     Am       G 
Every time I think I might 
                            F 
I just can't concentrate
             G              C 
You're all I think about these days 
 

CHORUS:
        Am               D7
My mind wanders where it will
        F                C 
When it settles right on you 
     Am                D7
I forget what I should say
     F                 G 
I forget what I should do 

 
INSTRUMENTAL: Bb    C    F  G  C


CHORUS:
        Am               D7
My mind wanders where it will
        F                C 
When it settles right on you 
     Am                D7
I forget what I should say
     F                 G 
I forget what I should do 

 
INTERLUDE:   *Spoken* 

"Ah, come on, Patty. Get it together"

 
                **Key Change - Up 2 Semitones** 


N.C.                 D 
I try to think about Shakespeare, leap year

The Beatles or the Rolling Stones 
                     G 
I try to think about hair-do's, tattoos
D 
Sushi bars and saxophones 



I try to think about the talk shows, new clothes
                           Bm   A 
But I guess I should've known 
                            G
I just can't concentrate
             A              Bm   E   G 
You're all I think about these days 
             A             D 
You're all I think about these days
