       G#            C#m
A Cosmopolitan, a Manhattan
        G#
Call me one
                         C#m
Pour a round for me and my friends
               A#
Cape Cod sea breeze, Long Island ice teas
                                    D#
I won't go there or drink it if you paid me

Chorus:
          C#m
When they come to waylay me
           G#
When they close in for the capture
        A#m
I did it all
I did it all
         G#            F 
For the love and the laughter
         A#
I did it all
         D#
I did it all
         G#
I did it all

Slept in late
Stayed up for days
Partied hard
Lived my twenties in haze
Smoked second-hand in crowded bars
With the A-list of B-list movie stars

Chorus:
When they come to arrest me
Pat me down and undress me
I'll confess without Miranda
Strike a pose for the tabloid cameras
I did it all
I did it all
I did it all

        C#m
I did it all
                G#
I didn't ask permission
         C#m
I did it all
What kind of life
   G#
Is not an exhibition
         C#m
I did it all
Crash and burn
     G#
And then you know you're living
        A#m
I did it all
Some pain a few tears after
         C#m
I did it all
To the last line of the final chapter
         A#m
I did it all
         D#
I did it all

My heat is a wound that festers
Seduced my share in silk and polyester
Oh my great loves
And my few losses
I'll tell it all
When my little black book is published

Chorus:
When they come to interview me
For my made for TV movie
Say I'm the bitch who was a bastard
Who did it all for the love and laughter
I did it all
I did it all
