Verse 2:
Bb2              F
Eleanor, you've lost me
     Eb2                 Dm7
In a haze of wine and cocaine
Bb2          F
Gone out and cost me
Eb2          Dm7
Everything I blame
C            Eb
Broadcast in TV detail
   Bb
To call their own stories
C        Eb
As I try to recapture
    Bb
Our best in former glories

Turn around for good
Eb                Bb/D
She swears she'll turn around

Turn around for sure
Eb                Bb/D
You know you'll run around
Gm              C
Run around for her

You know you want to know so pure

F   Eb  Bb/D 2x

Verse 3:
F
Ease on that dirt road
Eb2                 Dm7
You've still a ways to go
F
Soak in sights and city lights
Eb2                 Dm7
While you still can borrow
Eb2               F
Cursed fall will find you
    Eb2     Dm7
And bring a memory
Bb2           F
The ghost of her surrender
Eb2               Dm7
With the kiss of anarchy
       Bb
She's naked at my door

Chorus 3:
    F  Eb     Dm
Vanity cries, why?

Vanity wants everything and more
