Playing Possum chords by Carly Simon

Chords with lyrics

E7E7
We lived up in Cambridge
   G+G
And browsed in the hippest newsstands
      G+G
Then we started our own newspaper
      Bm7Bm7
Gave the truth about Uncle Sam
E7E7
We loved to be so radical
       G+G
But like a ragged love affair
    G+G
Some became disenchanted
   D MajorD
And some of us just got scared

            A augmentedA
Now are you playing possum
Keeping a low profile
      A augmentedA
Are you playing possum for a while

E7E7
Then you moved to the country
    G+G
Bought a farm and tilled the land
      G+G
Then you took your books to India
      C majorC
And got hooked on a holy man
E7E7
But the wells they do run dry
      G+G
And the speeches turn to words
     G+G
And the woods are full of tigers
    D MajorD
And freedom's for the birds

           A augmentedA
Now are you playing possum
Keeping a low profile
      A augmentedA
Are you playing possum for a while

E7E7
Now you run a bookstore
      G+G
And you've taken on a wife
      G+G
You wear patches on your elbows
     C majorC
And you live an easy life
E7E7
Well, are you finally satisfied
        G+G
Is it what you were lookin' for
G+G
Or does it sneak up on you
 D MajorD
That there might be something more

           A augmentedA
Now are you playing possum
Keeping a low profile
      A augmentedA
Are you playing possum for a while
      A augmentedA
Are you just playing possum for a while
      A augmentedA
Are you just playing possum for a while
