[A] [D] [E] [A] [D] [E] [A]
AAt times like Dthese when eneEmies can number F#mmore than friends,
A friend indDed is what I neEed, not someone F#mwho pretends.
I'm on my Dway, I cannot Estay another Aday.
AYou're such a Dpain. Must I exEplain my every F#mmeaning to you?
It's such a Ddrag the way you Enag at me and F#mmake me feel blue.
I'm on my Dway, I cannot Estay another Aday.
F#mYou're so pusillanimous, Aoh yea. F#mNature's calling and I
Dmaj7must go Ethere.

AA glass of Dwine with Gertrude EStein I know I'll F#mnever share.
But I don't Dmind. That's just the Ekind of cross each F#mman must bear.
I'm on my Dway, I cannot Estay another Aday.
AAnother Dday. I know the Esay that all the F#mworld's a stage.
I'll play the Dfool, but as a Erule, I'd rather F#mact my age.
I'm on my Dway, I cannot Estay another Aday. (3 times)
