In Times When My Head Tab

by Carly Simon


In Times When My Head from Another Passenger - 1976

                 
In times in my head
                   
Was together about you
                  
I was an expert at silence
                              
I enjoyed the blondes in their red jeeps
                 
Stopping you on the street
                           
Knowing none could compare with me
                      
In my airy skirts and cool retreats


In times when my head

Was together about you
                      
I was an expert at silence
   
Oh oh oh

                 
You could have told the truth all the time
                   
I was that at ease inside
                
You never made me cry
             
Then one night I lied
                              
I got down with a boy in the backwoods
                 
I didn't tell you and you didn't see
                  
That's when jealousy
                 
Got the dog up in me


In times when my head

Was together about you
                      
I was an expert at silence
   
Oh oh oh

                 
Now every look you get
                 
Seems like another threat
                    
I pick your pockets almost hoping to find
       
Something to hurt about
               
To prove you unkind
                           
Oh, but I still love you, baby
                 
Though now I just can't sit still
                        
And though that boy meant nothing to me
                      
I believe I've lost that simple thrill of the

Times when my head

Was together about you
                      
I was an expert at silence
             
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
