The Standards Of Today


F            Gm7/F         Ab/F      Gm7/F
By all the standards of today

     Bb                          F      Gm7/F            Ab/F     Gm7/F
Like easy come and easy go and play it cool and keep it gay

Bb          C7      C11   F        Gm7/F   Ab/F     Gm7/F
We were in love the only way the free can be

     Bb        C7            C11      Bb   Fm7/Ab   Bb   Fm7/Ab   Fm7/Ab   Gm7   Gm7   Gm7/C
But do you realise what you meant to me




 F          Gm7/F          Ab/F     Gm7/F
You never tried to lead me on

   Bb                              F       Gm7/F         Ab/F    Gm7/F    Bb
My eyes were open all the way and really scarcely even shone

Bb             C7    C11      F        Gm7/F   Ab/F   Gm7/F
But now you've easy come and gone, it feels unreal

   Bb                  C7         C11       Bb   Fm7/Ab   Bb   Fm7/Ab   Fm7/Ab   Gm7
I guess there must be something wrong with me




F            Gm7/F           Ab/F     Gm7/F
I'm not surprised by how it went

Bb                              F    Gm7/F       Ab     Gm7/F
I'm being awkward even now by crying after the event

Bb       C7      C11    F       Gm7/F      Ab/F   Gm7/F
I never had the temperament, I guess, for less

Bb                   C7                  Bb   Fm7/Ab   Fm7/F   Gm7/Ab   Gm7/Ab   C11   F
Than everything you might have meant to me
