D# Cheers Thanks for everything Cm You hung me out by my heart Gm G# You’re just so selfish, Jean, D# Yes, you are D# Hey, you Threw it all away Cm By holding everything in Gm G# Hey, Jean, don’t rock the boat D# When you can’t swim Chorus: G Cm With a perfect understanding of the finer G# things in life G A quite alarming knack of knowing Cm F7 when to twist the knife A# A#7 Ooooh, ooooh! D# Selfish Jean Here's to you Who had everything And left it out on the shelf There's no-one else to blame Except yourself Chorus: Well a perfect combination of good etiquette and charm You keep the chocolate biscuits wired to a car alarm Ahhh-ahhh selfish Jean Cm Well, I’m standing on my own And this house is not a home G# It’s so sad to see you go Things are high, things are low Fm7 And it’s good to know you know If you’ve got nowhere to go A# Well, you could spend the night with me D# There will be no guarantee that I’ll be here In the morning Or any time that you call I hear you snoring Jean Through the wall So hey Here's to everything To peace and love in our time Ah Jean the slate is clean I guess we're fine Well I don't expect a miracle I'm not asking you to change If you can't see me happy well just look the other way Ahhh-ahhh selfish Jean Ahhh-ahhh selfish Jean Jean You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  A#  A#7  Cm  D#  F7  Fm7  G  Gm  G#  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
