You hung me out by my heart
F#m            G
You're just so selfish jean
        D   Dsus2   D  Dsus2
Yes you are
D      Dsus2
Hey you
         D       Dsus2
Threw it all away
   Bm         Badd9     Bm    Badd9
By holding everything in
F#m            G 
Hey Jean don't rock the boat
               D    Dsus2   D   Dsus2
When you can't swim


Chorus:
       F#m                          Bm              G
With a perfect understanding of the finer things in life
  F#m                             Bm                 E
A quite alarming knack of knowing when to twist the knife
A       A7
Oooooooooh
        D    Dsus2  D  Dsus2
Selfish Jean


Verse:
D         Dsus2

Who read everything
Bm           Badd9      Bm   Badd9
Left it out on the shelf

Except yourself


Chorus:
F#m                                Bm          G
Well a perfect combination of good etiquette and charm
F#m                                   Bm       E
You keep the chocolate biscuits wired to a car alarm
A       A7
Oooooooooh
        D   Dsus2  D  Dsus2
Selfish Jean


Bridge:
       Bm
Well i'm standing on my own

And this house is not a home
        Em
It's so sad to see you go

Things are high, things are low
          Em
And it's good to know you know

If you've got nowhere to go
               A                    A/G
Well you could spend the night with me
          A/F#m        A/G               D   Dsus2
There will be no guarantee that I'll be here


Verse:
D              Dsus2
In the morning
       Bm      Badd9    Bm  Badd9
Or any time that you call
F#m                G
I hear you snoring Jean
            D   Dsus2  D  Dsus2
Through the wall
D     Dsus2
So hey 
          D        Dsus2        
Here's to everything
   Bm             Badd9   Bm  Badd9
To peace and love in our time
F#m                  G
Ah Jean the slate is clean
              D    Dsus2   D   Dsus2
I guess we're fine


Chorus:
     F#m
Well I don't expect a miracle
    Bm            G
Not asking you to change
F#m 
If you can see me happy
          Bm             E
Well just look the other way
A       A7
Oooooooooh
        D   Dsus2  D   Dsus2
Selfish Jean
A       A7
Heeeaaaaaah
        D    
Selfish Jean
