Being Joan Crawford at 21 was easy

F                G                         C (walk down to Am)
Living in New Haven in 1925 was simple and kind

                       G                                   Am
Like you and me at the start it's right and bright at the top

                      G                                  Riff 2x
But the rook's not to blame for those who didn't have an end game

      The tenements of New Haven 2010 spare me that my friend

       F        G                             C (walk down to Am)       
Being Joan Crawford at the end well that was hard

                  G                                 Am
You and me at the start it's simple and pure at the top

                      G                                  Riff 2x
But the rook's not to blame for those who didn't have an end game
