[Intro]
D Fm Cm A#…………..
[Verse 1]
A#m Em..Simone writes little of much consequence
A D Gm..Unless the theater’s how you pay the rent
A#m Em..A new work of some semi-memoir sits
A D Gm..Inside the weekend book editors desk
D GmAnd while they have not mentioned it
D GmShe must watch roses get thrown at less
DOh, the indignity
[Chorus]
A D G..It was just the thing for their Q4
D A“Deeply funny” was the rave refrain
D GIt was just the thing for their Q4
D AIt’ll be on stands before the holidays
[Interlude]
D Fm Cm A#…………..
[Verse 2]
A#m Em
..B?r sister was not much long for this world
A D Gm..She danced as if a danc?r danced as if
A#m Em..As if she had a body to sustain
A D Gm..As if an audience to entertain
D GmThis ironic distance kept her sane
D GmWhile her vessel sailed away
DIt was all very literary
And the truth was
[Chorus]
A D G..It was just the thing for their Q4
D AWhat’s “deeply funny” mean anyhow?
D GIt was just the thing for their Q4
D AThese are the stories that we need right now
[Bridge]

A#m(I’m sure she wouldn’t mind)
With a memory such as she
G(But who else than I)

F#7(Could write the story of her life?)
A“By now this tragedy’s my own!”
F Em AOh, oh, oh

A#m Em A D Gm………………
[Chorus]
A D G..It was just the thing for their Q4
D A“Deeply funny” was the rave refrain
D GIt was just the thing for their Q4
D AIt’ll be on stands before the holidays
D GIt was just the thing for their Q4
D AThe film adaptation was a total mess
D GIt was just the thing for their Q4
D A’Til she was outed for her privilege
D GIt was just a thing for their Q4
D ACan’t see her brother now unsupervised
D GIt was just the thing for their Q4
D AHer family switched care right when she inquired
