Trade In Chords

(ver. 1)
Lou Reed
[Intro]
 
A A D/F# Dm
A A D/F# Dm
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
A
 I met a new me at 8 am,
Amaj7
 The other one got lost
A7
 This was not a trade in,
D
 Although I wouldn't believe the cost
Dm
 I woke up crying as we said goodbye
A
 Me an my old self,
F#m
 Each day he vanished more and more
Bm                        E
 As I became someone else
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
A
 He actually was murdered
Amaj7
 I had taken him apart
A7
 But when I put him back together,
D
 I couldn't find his heart
Dm
 It was resting underneath a chair,
A
 In a bed of bright tin foil
F#m
 If I pulled back the flaps,
Bm
 I could still see it beat
E
 I could still hear his voice uncoil, As I said :
 
 
[Chorus]
 
A                Amaj7                      A7
 I want a trade in, a 14th chance at this life
D                                      A
 I've met a woman with a thousand faces
F#m                    Bm      E
 And I want to make her my wife
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
A
 How could I have been so mistaken,
Amaj7
 How could I think that it was true
A7
 A child that is raised by an idiot,
D
 And that idiot then becomes you
A
 How could I believe in a movie,
Amaj7
 How could I believe in a book
A7
 But most of all how could I listen to you,
D
 Such an obvious schmuck
Dm
 A life spent listening to a**holes,
A
 It's funny but it's true
F#m
 So get rid of them I said to myself
Bm                               E
 But first I'm getting rid of you
 
[Chorus]
 
A                Amaj7                      A7
 I want a trade in, a 14th chance at this life
D
 I've met a woman with a thousand faces
A F#m                    Bm      E
 And I want to make her my wife
 
 
[Verse 4]
 
A
 Take me over to the window,
Amaj7
 my heart said to my head
A7
 Please set me on fire,
D
 so we can start again
Dm
 I was so wrong that it's funny,
A
 and I can't apologize
F#m                                       Bm                         E
 But instead you can be everything that I'm not, the second that I die
 
 
[Chorus]
 
E        A                Amaj7                          A7
 Ooohhh, I want a trade in, the second chance at this life
D
 I've met a woman with a thousand faces
A F#m                    Bm      E
 And I want to make her my wife
 
 
[Outro]
 
A  A  D/F#  Dm
 Ha!
A                       A   D/F#                 Dm
 A 14th chance at this life, I want a trade in ...
A                  A    D/F#                       Dm
 ... I said ... uuuhhh, 14th, 14th chance at this life
A  A  D/F#  Dm
