[D#] [D#m] [E]
Never asked me what I wanted, you only asked me why.
I never thought that so much trouble was the reason of my reply.
[A] I can't win tonight, [E] and I was wrong.
If you were the only [C#m] one who thought I [A] could tell [C#m] you that I liked [E] you since September.
[F#] You know it's a way to [B] choose what's [A]
right.
I have to [E] say that there's always someone [A] who can do it better than I [E] can.
[A]
Don't you think that I [E] know that walking on a water [B] won't make me a miracle man.
[E]
Baby's got to have [C#] the things she [E] wants.
You know she's got to have the things [C#m] she loves.
Got a jam and a bamboo cigarette [G#m] holder [E] and a black and lemony blood.
[F#] [A] And I'm doing everything [E] just trying to please the [A] people crawling around my door.
[C#m] I [A]
[E] was going to be easy but [F#] you still see the one you [B] want.

Oh [E] yeah.
[C#m] [E]
[C#m]
Instead of giving you [C#] a bad [E] reputation just because you've never been [C#m] denied.
You try to say you've done it all before.
Baby, you know that you're just getting [F#m] tired.
[A] But everybody loves [E] you so much girl.
I [A] just don't know how you stand [G#m] the strain.
I don't want to [E] sit in that.
And [F#] I don't want to do this all [B] in vain.
[A]
I have to say that [E] there's always someone [A] who can do it better than [E] I can.
[A] And don't you think that I [E] know that walking on a water [B] won't make [E] me a miracle [B] man.
[E] Oh yeah.
