Coming Around Again

Words & Music:

Carly Simon

 

C    Am       F     C        Am    C   F   C

Baby sneezes, mommy pleases, daddy breezes in.

So good on paper, so romantic, but so bewildering.

 

CHORUS:

F

I know nothing stays the same.

Dm

But, if you're willing to play the game,

     Bb             F

It's coming around again.

    F     Eb        Am    D

So, don't mind if I fall apart.

        Bb             C

There's more room in a broken heart.

 

You pay the grocer, fix the toaster, kiss the host goodbye.

Then you break the window, burn the soufflŽ, scream a lullaby.

 

CHORUS:

 

      C          Am        F

And I believe in love; but what else can I do?

    C

I'm so in love with you.

F      Dm                                    Bb

I know nothing stays the same; but if you're willing to play the game.

     F

It's coming around again

 

Baby sneezes, mommy pleases (love, I believe in love, I believe in love)

Daddy breezes in (I believe in love)

I know nothing stays the same (love, I believe in love)

But if you're willing to play the game (I believe in love)

It will be coming around again (I believe in love)

 

CHORUS:  [repeat and out]
