_ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ Never asked me what I wanted, you only asked me why. _ _ _
I never thought that so much trouble was the result of my reply.
_ I [A] tell you why [E] tonight's just the only, if you were the only [C#m] one.
_ _ [A] I could tell you that I [E] liked your sense of [F#] jealousy.
You know it's the way [B] that you are.
_ _ [A]
Why do you have to say [E] that there's always someone [A] who can do it better than I [E] can?
_ _ [A]
Don't you think that [E] only walking on a [B] waterfront will make me a [G] miracle man?
_ _ [E]
Baby's got a half [C#] a thing she [E] wants, you know she's got the half a thing [C#m] she loves.
[E] Got a jam and a bamboo cigarette [G#m] holder [E] and a black kid in leather gloves.
[F#] _ [A] And I'm doing everything [E] just trying to please her.

She's been giving [C#] you a bad [E] reputation just because you've never been [C#m] denied. _ _
You try to say you've done it all before, baby boy that just gets [F#m] tired.
[A] Girl, everybody loves [E] you so much, girl I [A] just don't know how you stand [G#m] the strain.
_ _ [A]
I'm a [E] watchman tonight and [F#] I don't wanna do the [B] offing things.
_ _ [A]
Why do you have to say that [E] there's always someone [A] who can do it better than [E] I can?
