[B] I [G#m] rewrite most of the songs I do
[D#] It's [E] clear that [C#m] no one will ever [C#] sing them quite the [F#] way I do
I'll [B] think tonight, I'll sit down and write a [G#m] heartfelt line [C#m] or two
[D#m] And if they [C#m] turn out good enough, [C#] I owe [F#m] every word to [B] you
To the kid I thought was a little too [G#m] young to know what sadness [E] was
He took me out when I was [F#] down and set out to find the cause
[B] Why the lady had the [E] blues and seemed on [C#m] the verge of [D#m] tears
I tell you that [C#m] kid must have been around [C#] for a hundred and [F#] fifty years
He's a [B] tough guy, blonde with a front [G#m] tooth on and ships all over his chest
[E] Who approached me out on the [F#] promenade of a beach heading into the west
[B] His friends lay around on the muscle man [E] lawn like a drunken pirate band
[D#m] But he turned [C#m] into a gentleman, [A] [C#] called me a [F#] lady and kissed my [D#m] [F#] hand
[B] The songwriters of the [G#m] industry write most of the songs I do
[E] It's clear that [C#m] no one will ever [A] sing them [C#] quite the [F#] way I do
[B] I'll think tonight, I'll sit down and [G#] write a heartfelt [C#m] line or two
[D#m] And if they [C#m] turn out good enough, [C#] I owe [F#m] every word to you
[B]
To the man and the woman who threw me a [G#m] glance as they picnicked by the sea
[E] They turned their gaze to the kid and the food [F#] so as not to bother me
[B] They got up to leave and the woman looked [E] on as the man leaned [C#m] down to say
You've always meant so much to us, [C#] don't want to bother you, [F#] but have a nice [D#m] day
[F#] [B] And to the band of gypsies I call [G#m] friends who speak so carefully
[E] To their friend with a life unlike their own [F#] in its strange complexities
[B] Have the patience of the saints [E] when I have been down [C#m] for a spell
[D#m] I wish it were a whole [C#m] lot easier [C#] to find the [F#] words to wish them [D#m] well
[F#]
[B] And though the songwriters of the industry [G#m] write most of the songs I do
[E] It's clear that no [C#m] one will ever sing [C#] them quite the way [F#] I do
