It's always been a favorite song too but I've also always known about the selfish bit and in my less charitable moments about Paul (as rare as they are 😂) bring up what a jackass he is on this one. It's exactly as you (and he!) says. And you know how I feel about people who always think they're right...

When I was a kid, I also used to think he was singing "there's a chance that we might Paul McCartney before too long" instead of "we might fall apart before too long".

Iirc George was the one who suggested the waltz bits/change of tempo in the middle eight even though he doesn't often get credited for it.
