    	    	Вступление

[Intro]
D  Fm  Cm  B  B

[Verse 1]
Bm                        Em
Simone writes little of much consequence
A                             D       Gm
Unless the theater’s how you pay the rent
Bm                      Em
A new work of some semi-memoir sits
A                         D     Gm
Inside the weekend book editors desk
                D          Gm
And while they have not mentioned it
                  D             Gm
She must watch roses get thrown at less
           D
Oh, the indignity

[Chorus]
A                            D  G
It was just the thing for their Q4
                        D        A
“Deeply funny” was the rave refrain
                             D  G
It was just the thing for their Q4
                               D   A
It’ll be on stands before the holidays

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
Bm                       Em
Her sister was not much long for this world
A                          D        Gm
She danced as if a dancer danced as if
Bm                   Em
As if she had a body to sustain
A                   D     Gm
As if an audience to entertain
             D             Gm
This ironic distance kept her sane
           D            Gm
While her vessel sailed away
                 D
It was all very literary
D
And the truth was

[Chorus]
A                            D  G
It was just the thing for their Q4
                           D   A
What’s “deeply funny” mean anyhow?
A                            D  G
It was just the thing for their Q4
                               D          A
These are the stories that we need right now

[Bridge]
F#
How could she compete?
                       Bm
(I’m sure she wouldn’t mind)

With a memory such as she
                   G
(But who else then I)

Leigh died so many months ago
                         F#m
(Could write the story of her life?)
                        A
“By now this tragedy’s my own!”
F   Em           A
Oh, oh, oh-oh oh-oh

[Instrumental]
Bm  Em  A  D
Gm  D   Gm

[Chorus]
A                            D  G
It was just the thing for their Q4
                        D        A
“Deeply funny” was the rave refrain
                             D  G
It was just the thing for their Q4
                               D   A
It’ll be on stands before the holidays

[Chorus]
A                            D  G
It was just the thing for their Q4
                           D     A
The film adaptation was a total mess
A                            D  G
It was just the thing for their Q4
                             D   A
’Til she was outed for her privilege

[Chorus]
A                            D  G
It was just a thing for their Q4
                             D    A
Can’t see her brother now unsupervised
A                            D  G
It was just the thing for their Q4
                                      D     A
Her family switched care right when she inquired…
