Dan My Fling chords by Carly Simon

Verse 1:

 C
I said that I felt jailed up
 C
As if our doors were nailed up
 A
I said I needed separate places
 D7
Parties, room to move around in
 C
I said I needed my fling
 C
Had to get out and do some other thing
 A
It took me months to calculate

D7
That I had nothing left without you


Chorus:

D7
Dan, my fling is all flung out
D7
Now I've got to fall back on dreams

Verse 2:

C
I thought I'd try and write you
C
I thought I'd try and phone you
A
I thought I'd try to tell you
D7
That I smell your hair still on my pillow
C
But you'd just smile to please me
C
You'd shake your head and you'd tease me
A
Remind me it was I who first claimed
D7
That we both required freedom

Chorus:

D7
Dan, my fling is all flung out
D7
Now I've got to fall back on dreams

Verse 3:

C
I'd dream up schemes to meet you
C
I'd nonchalantly greet you
A
I'd ask you up for coffee
D7
Anytime you had an hour open
C
You say you like my hair long
C
You ask me if I've written any new songs
A
You'd laugh, you'd turn and cross the street
D7
And leave me dizzy with your laughter

Chorus:

D7
Dan, my fling is all flung out
D7
Now I've got to fall back on dreams

Verse 4:

C
I hear you're leaving this town
C
You and some girl gonna travel around
A
You bought a car with foldback seats
D7
You'll camp out by the lakes and forests
C
I lie alone in our old bed
C
Your laughter it's echoin' inside my head
A
I close my eyes, I smell your hair
D7
It's like I haven't slept in years

Chorus:

D7
Dan, my fling is all flung out
Am
Now I've got to fall back on dreams
G
Dreams of you… Hmmmmm, hmmmmm hmmmm.
