Not Comey Back (or, Ode to James)

A song about breakups and moving on. And also James Comey.

CHORDS & LYRICS
Capo 3. G, C, Em and G, C, A, D.

I just can’t figure you out
I don’t know what you’re about
One day, we’re happy, and everything’s cool
The next day, it seems I’ve been played for a fool
You’ve broken my heart just to be with another
(and I don’t want to know why you call her “Mother”)

Now I am struck with the blues
‘cause you broke up with me on the morning news
You couldn’t even tell me to my face
All I ever wanted was to investigate
the affair you were having that you tried to hush up
when I saw you texting some girl named Russia

So I’m not Comey back,
and you can run and tell that
I hope you’re happier with her
or else we’re both off worse

Maybe I shouldn’t have pushed you
I didn’t mean to ambush you
When I was a kid, I played at being a sleuth,
and I still wish I could seek out the truth,
but I can see, this time, that I went too far
I didn't notice you’d become such a tsar

I never dreamed of this day
I’m lost, and I can't even get on the plane
I know you’ll be fine; it’s part of your shtick,
but I’m feeling quite nauseous, yes, feeling quite sick
How does one move into the private sector
when the last thing on my resume is “FBI Director”?

I'm not Comey back,
and you can run and tell that
I hope your damage control
can stop this from taking its toll

I really should have seen this coming,
but hindsight is 20/20
On good days, you loved me
for dissing that girl Hillary
But I think you thought I was taking credit for your wins,
so you went a step farther than even Nixon did

I want you to know I don't blame you for this
You can't let anyone find out, and ignorance is bliss
I did my duty; I hope you’ll do yours
It wasn't meant to be, and it has opened many doors

but I'm not Comey back,
and you can run and tell that
I hope your goals are all reached
before you get impeached
Please don't call me back;
neither of us wants that
You've won! You’ve made me look like a chump
I guess that's why you're called
the President
