	        G                    Cm 
A Cosmopolitan in Manhattan  
         G 
Call me one  
                        Cm 
Pour a round for me and my friends  
                A7 
Cape Cod Sea Breeze Long Island Ice Teas  
                                    D7      
I won't go there or drink it if you paid me  

            Cm 
When they come to waylay me  
            G                 E7 
When they close in for the capture  
          Am             D7 
I did it all , I did it all  
         G             E7   
For the love and the laughter  
          Am             D7             G   Am D7 
I did it all , I did it all , I did it all  

Slept in late  
Stayed up for days  
Partied hard  
Lived my twenties in haze  
Smoked second-hand in crowded bars  
With the A-list of B-list movie stars  
           Cm 
When they come to arrest me  
         G              E7 
Pat me down and undress me  
       Am                  
I'll confest without miranda  
         G                      E7 
Strike a pose for the tabloid cameras  
          Am             D7             G  Am D7 
I did it all , I did it all , I did it all  
          Cm 
I did it all  
                  G 
I didn't ask permission  
          Cm 
I did it all  
               
What kind of life  
   G 
Is not an exhibition  
          Cm 
I did it all 
   
Crash and burn  
        G 
And then you know you're living  
          Am 
I did it all  

Some pain a few tears after  
          Cm 
I did it all  

To the last line of the final chapter  
          Am             D7 
I did it all , I did it all  

My heat is a wound that festers  
Seduced my share in silk and polyester  
Oh my great loves  
And my few losses  
I'll tell it all  
When my little black book is published  

When they come to interview me  
For my made for TV movie  
Say I'm the bitch who was a bastard  
Who did it all for the love and laughter  
          Am             D7             G Cm G 
I did it all , I did it all , I did it all
