[G] I gave my heart, I gave my love, [C] oh my darling, [G] I am true.
Doing [D] the best, the [G] best I can, but [D] it's not good [G] enough for you.
I tried so hard, so hard to please, oh [C] my darling, what more [G] could I do?
Doing [D] the best, the [G] best I can, but [D] it's not good enough [G] for you.
You know I wasn't the kind who'd run, [C] anytime you'd call.
[A] I guess I was the only one [Am] who didn't mind [D] at all.
I'll [G] be a dreamer, I'll be a fool, oh [C] my darling,
my [G] whole life through.
[D] Doing the best, the [G] best I can, but [D] it's not good [G] enough for you.
