The End Of A Love Affair(Chords)

	        A  A9 A        A9   A  A7/9         D9     D6/9       Bbm7 
So I walk a little too fast, and I drive a little too fast, 
        Gm7            A    A7       D9          Bm7 
And I'm reckless it's true, but what else can you do 
       Em7      Em9    A 
At the end of a love affair? 
A  A9 A         A9  A  A7/9         D9     D6/9       Bbm7 
So I talk a little too much, and I laugh a little too much, 
        G            A    A7      D9        B7 
And my voice is too loud when I'm out in a crowd, 
        Em7    Em9          A 
So that people are apt to stare. 
Bridge: 
        Em7            G6              Em7  A7 
Do they know, do they care, that it's only  
         Em7         G6         Em7  A7 
That I'm lonely, and low as can be? 
         G          G/F#       Em7      Em9      A7 
And the smile on my face isn't really a smile at all. 
A  A9 A         A9   A  A7/9         D9     D6/9       Bb7M 
So I smoke a little too much, and I joke a little too much, 
         Gm7       A7/13         D9         Bm7 
And the tunes I request are not always the best, 
         A              Em7      F#7 
But the ones where the trumpets blare. 
     Bm     Bm7/E      Gm7            A7M            C#m5-/7      F#7 
So I go at a maddening pace, and I pretend that it's taking his place, 
         Em7          A7        Em9       A       D6 
But what else can you do at the end of a love affair?
