[Verse 1]
Am9                        E7(#9#5)  E7(b9)Downstairs they're playing Kenton
Am9               E7     Am9The house set to swing
Am9          E7#9#5I lay in my bed
   E7b9       Am9         E7And listen to everything
Am9               E7(b9#5)Cause Leo's in rare form tonight
Am9          E7(b9#5)His trombone sings so sweet
Am9         E7(#9#5)This is the room
         E7(b9)      Am9Where they all come to meet


[Chorus]

Dm7           A/C#  C6I do what I can
                 G/BI live for the moment
G/B               Bb9(b5) E7(#5)And that's who I am
E7(#5)               Am9  A13(b9) A7(#5) A7Yeah that's who I am
Dm7            A/C#   C6And isn't it good
           G/BIf we could freeze moments in time
G/B         Bb9(b5)   E7We all would
              Am9I do what I can
              Am9I do what I can


[Verse 2]
Am9                         E7(#9#5) E7(b9)Downstairs he's playing Kenton
Am9               E7The Magnavox sighs
Am9            E7(#9#5)      E7(b9)But oh how the music has changed
       Am9          E7In all of our lives
Am9           E7(b9#5)He says "nobody listens
Am9          E7(b9#5)To modern jazz"
Am9         E7(b9#5)   E7(b9)       Am9    A7And I'll never have what those guys have


[Chorus]

A7And he said:

E7(#5)               Am9  A13(b9) A7(#5) A7Yeah that's who I am
Dm7                 A/C#   C6And its good to be alive
           G/BBut ev'rything's different
G/B         Bb9(b5)   E7Since Leo died

Dm7                      Asus      AmIs this the end of the modern world?
E7                 Asus4sus2       AmWhat could it mean for a young girl
    Dm          Asus         AmWho sees the pain on his face?
   E7                Asus4sus2  AmHe does what he can
Dm                    Asus       AmThe procession on the T.V. screen
E7           Asus4sus2  AmWhat could it possibly mean
      Dm                  AsusFor a man who's come this far
Am              E7  Asus4sus2 AmJust to turn around
            Fmaj7          Asus         AmCould there still be life in Kenton's swing
           E7               Asus4sus2 AmWith the Kennedys gone and everything
      Fmaj9         Dm/A               Em7       C/GThose sad rows of houses with their optimistic colors
Dm9      F6               Cmaj9Democrat grandparents and draft-dodging brothers

E7            Am    E5 Am9We do what we can


[Verse 3]
Am9              E7(#9#5)Downstairs it's quiet
Am9              E7(#9#5)Less alive somehow
Am9         E7(#9#5)    E7(b9)     Am9Somehow he was everything that I am now


[Chorus]

A7He says:
Dm7           A/C#  C6I do what I can

Dm7                 A/C#   C6And its good to be alive
           G/BAnd these are the choices
G/B         Bb9(b5)   E7We make to survive
                AmWe do what we can
