[Intro]
My brave, my brave
My brave face

[Verse 1]
I've been living in style
Unaccustomed as I am
To the luxury life
I've been hitting the town
And it didn't hit back

[Verse 2]
I've been doing the rounds
Unaccustomed as I am
To the time on my hands
Now I don't have to tell anybody
When I'm gonna get back

[Pre-Chorus]
Ever since you went away
I've had this sentimental inclination
Not to change a single thing
As I pull the sheet back on the bed
I wanna go bury my head in your pillow

[Chorus]
Now that I'm alone again
I can't stop breaking down again
The simplest things set me off again
And take me to that place
Where I can't find my brave face
Where I can't find my brave face
My brave, my brave, my brave face
My brave face

[Verse 3]
Well, I've been living a lie
Unaccustomed as I am
To the work of a housewife
I've been breaking up
Dirty dishes and been throwing them away

[Pre-Chorus]
Ever since you left I have been trying to
Compose a "Baby, will you please come home?" note
Meant for you
As I clear away another
Untouched T.V. dinner
From the table I laid for two

[Chorus]
Now that I'm alone again
I can't stop breaking down again
The simplest things set me off again
And take me to that place
Where I can't find my brave face
Where I can't find my brave face
My brave, my brave, my brave face
My brave face

Paul McCartney

Sir James Paul McCartney, born June 18, 1942, is the single most successful music artist of all time. He found worldwide fame as the bass player and vocalist for The Beatles, and has continued to enjoy commercial success long after the band’s breakup.

His post-Beatles projects—the most lucrative of which was the band Wings, alongside then-wife Linda Eastman—have been met with mixed critical reception but he still retains a substantial public following, regularly conducting worldwide arena tours well into his later years.

His album sales with The Beatles, Wings and solo endeavours combined come to over 100 million, and his net worth was estimated to be approximately $1.2 billion circa 2018. He was knighted in 1997 and is known for his activism.
