If he wait, this is Max Washington.
Hi, Max.
Marty said you needed a singer.
I was just telling Max that you're serious about working.
He knows all about you.
[Gm]
Oh, you do, huh?
[Ebm] Daddy, you don't know the half.
One night after you hire me, [Bb] we'll sit down and I'll tell you all about how I blew through half a million [N] dollars in two years.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, come on.
Hey, hey, hey. Drink it.
We don't want to take up too much of your man's time.
Carl knows all the songs.
Carl?
Where's Bernard?
He has a job in Everston.
But I can't sing with someone I don't know.
Effie, Marty, I don't have the time.
Max, please, just give me a minute.
Now you listen, Effie White.
For four months I've been your money.
I've taken you to every club in this freezing town and I'm telling you that this is it.
It's time that you stop making excuses so that you don't have to prove anything.
You're going to have to start proving it just like the rest of us.
I don't know, maybe Curtis was right about you.
You want all of the privileges but none of the responsibilities.
Hey, Max, thanks anyway, man.
I'm sorry.
Do you know this song?
I told you I didn't want to see her.
Well, you are, mister.
You are.

Who said I could do it all alone?
[F] How many good [G] friends have I already lost?
[Dm] How many dark [G] nights have I known?
[Bb] Walking [C] down that wrong road.
[Gm] There was [C] nothing I could hold.

But now [Bb] I can see I am
