E5

Emaj7                    D#m       A
I kinda like the way you dot your "J"s
     C#m   G#m    C#m      G#m
With giant circles    of naïveté
    C#m     G#m     E       A    B
The kind of circles include everything
Emaj7                           D#m      A
Don't mean to damn you with the faintest praise
     C#m    G#m    C#m        G#m
It's just a symptom    of the blithe age
C#m    G#m       E        A   B
Walter Lippmann, he would be amazed.
G#m                     F#m
So you've got some curb appeal
G#m                             F#m
But can you cook a three course meal?
G#m                       F#m                         B
Or are you just a present waiting to be opened up and parceled out again? Hey!

A   G#m   F#m   E
You are a gardenia, pressed
A      G#m      F#m     B
in the campaign journal in the 
A        G#m   F#m E
rucksack of an Afrikaner 
A    G#m      F#m    B
candidate for mild reform.

Emaj7                      D#m    A
It's like we're at a Ponzi scam-inar
        C#m     G#m  C#m           G#m
There's no escaping      without a door prize
C#m         G#m   E      A       B         
They're operating at significant loss.
Emaj7                    D#m        A
And now the way that you watch your weight,
C#m     G#m      C#m          G#m      C#m
Richard Avedon,       Richard Avedon would,
        G#m    E         A    B
Richard Avedon would surely approve.
G#m                     F#m
So much for your curb appeal.
G#m                          F#m
So much for the three course meals.
G#m                       F#m                         B
'Cause I am not a present waiting to be opened up and parceled out again. Hey!

<B riff>

A   G#m     F#m     E
The torture of the Van Wyk 
A     G#m     F#m  B
Expressway at 5  p.m. on 
A      G#m       F#m    E 
Friday gives you some idea of 
A     G#m     F#m      B 
how rejection makes me feel.
A        G#m   F#m    E     A  G#m  F#m  B
Well you are a gardenia,
A   G#m   F#m   E     A  G#m  F#m  B       E
You are a gardenia.
