Lyrics & Chords
Full Song
Verse 1
A D
You walked into the party like you were walking onto a yacht
A E
Your hat strategically dipped below one eye
A
Your scarf it was apricot
D A
You had one eye in the mirror as you watched yourself gavotte
E
And all the girls dreamed that they’d be your partner
They’d be your partner, and…
Chorus
A D
You’re so vain, you probably think this song is about you
A E
You’re so vain, I’ll bet you think this song is about you
A
Don’t you? Don’t you?
Verse 2
A D
You had me several years ago when I was still quite naive
A E
Well, you said that we made such a pretty pair
A
And that you would never leave
D A
But you gave away the things you loved and one of them was me
E
I had some dreams, they were clouds in my coffee
Clouds in my coffee, and…
Chorus
A D
You’re so vain, you probably think this song is about you
A E
You’re so vain, I’ll bet you think this song is about you
A
Don’t you? Don’t you?
Bridge
D A
Well, I hear you went up to Saratoga and your horse naturally won
E A
Then you flew your Learjet up to Nova Scotia to see the total eclipse of the sun
Verse 3
A D
Well, you’re where you should be all the time
A E
And when you’re not you’re with some underworld spy or the wife of a close friend
Wife of a close friend, and…
Chorus
A D
You’re so vain, you probably think this song is about you
A E
You’re so vain, I’ll bet you think this song is about you
A
Don’t you? Don’t you?
