Hello!
[C#m] Hello!
_ How are [B] ya?
_ [F#] I wonder [E] can I borrow [Em] about 10 [B] minutes of your time?
[E] _ _ You know how it is when you _ feel all alone, you feel like you got to talk to [B] somebody.
[E] I want to talk to you.
[F#] _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ [A] Listen to me.
[C#m] _ Sitting here, sipping on a [B]
[E] glass of wine.
_ _ _ [A] _ _
_ [C#m] _ _ [E] _ [A] And I'm trying my [E] best not to lose my mind.
[Bm] _ [E] You [F#m] _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ [F#]
[E] know, _ [G#m] _ thinking about [C#] the word_
Ha! [E] Commercial. _ _ _ _ _

You know what I'm talking about, like _ [A]
[E] uh_
Record companies.
[G#m] _ _ [C#] _ [A] _ _
[E] _ Presidents, Vice [B] Presidents. _ _ _
[C#] Producers.
[G#m] And their little [B] engineers. _ _
[C#m] _ _ [G#m] _ _ [F#] _ [B] _ _
But you know what?
I [C#m] feel, _ down in my heart.
_ _ _ I don't care what it is, if I can get [E] into it, it's commercial enough for me.
[G] _ _ [A] _ _
But anyway, I remember a little while [G#m] back,
I walked into a recording studio [E] with just me and my guitar.
_ _ _ [B] _
[C#m] _ _ [E] _ [A] _ [B] _ [C#m] _ [B] _ _
[E] _ _ _ [A] _ [B] _ [A] And I remember [E] starting out on a song.
Sort of went something like this, well it had the same melody anyway.
_ _ [Bm] _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ [C#]
[E] The head man [C#m] called in [B] _ [A] President, _
[E] _ _ _ _ Vice President, _ _
_ _ and just one of his producers. _
_ _ [G#] _ [E] And an engineer. _
_ _ And an engineer.
[A] _ [E] _ [A] _
[E] You know, they all sit around with their heads dropped down while I was trying to get over.
_ _ _ [G#m] _ _ [F#m] _ _
[A] You could hear a [E] pin fall.
_ I know you all know what I'm talking about.
_ _ _ [B] _ [A] And I'm still [B] trying to get over.
_ _ [F#] _ [E] _ _ _
[A] _ [E] _ _ _ But anyway, as I got through doing my thing,
_ [Bm] or should I [E] say doing the best that I could,
[F#]
[E] I'll never forget what they told me.
[B] _ [C#] One of the guys got up and said,
[B] _ [Em] _ _ I like you, and I ain't saying that you can't sing.
_ But as they [E] all began to leave the conference table,
they kept on saying, what's not commercial? Commercial.
[B] _ _
[E] Commercial.
_ [B] _ _ _ No, you're not [E] commercial.
_ [B] _ _ [A] _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F#] So I went [G#m] on out.
_ [E] _ _ [F#] _ _ [C#m] _
Or should I say, _ so loud. _
[B] But like I said before,
_ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ [C#m] music is [F#] music.
[B] _
[E] _ _ That's how it [C#m] is. _ _
[E] _ _ _ That's the [G#] way it is.
[A] _
[E] _ _ Well, I didn't change my [A] style because I [Em] still had the same heart.
[A] _ [E] _ _ _ _
[C#m] But just like the man said,
[B] _ he said, [E] Bobby, it's got to be funky.
_ _ _ _ Yeah.
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ I _ came back and said, now I want to sing something that I want to sing.
A little song that says,
_ _ [B] it says, _
[E] _ Why _ _ [F#m] _ _ _
[A] do _ _ birds _ _
_ [C#] suddenly _ [Cm] appear _ _
[G#m] every _ _ _ _ time [C#m] _ _ you're _ _ [A] here?
_ _ _ [F#m] Just like me. _
[A] _ _ They long to be [E] _
_ close _ _ _ to you.
_ _ [C#m] _ [G#m] _ [E] _
Why do [A] _ stars _ [G#] fall down from the sky
_ every [G#m] _ _ _
time _ _ [C#m] you _ _ walk _ _ _ [A] _ by?
Just like me.
_ _ _ Can't you see they just [E] want to be close to you? _ _ _ _ _
Listen to me.
_ [A] On the day you were born,
_ [F#m] _ [A] angels got together [G#m] and decided to create a dream [C#] come true. _ _ _
[F] So [F#m] they sprinkled moon dust in your hair _
_ and a glowing starlight in your eyes.
A [E] blue [A] moon. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ [A] _ _
That is why _ _ [G#] all the guys in town follow _ [G#m] _
you,
_ _ follow [C#m] _ you around,
follow you around,
follow you [A] around. _ _
Just like me.
_ They _ _ just want [E] to be _ _ close to _ _ you.
_ Why _ _ [A] _ _ do _ _ stars [D#] fall down from the [G#] sky _
_ [G#m] _ _ every _ time [C#m] _ you _ walk [G#m] by?
[A] _ Just _ like me. _
_ They _ just want to [E] be a little bit closer to _ you.
Oh, I know, I know.
_ [A] On the day that you were born,
the angels got together [G#m] and decided to create a [C#] dream come true.
_ _ _ [C#m] So [A] they sprinkled moon dust in your hair.
_ _ [F#m] _ _ I see [A]
rainbows when I _ _ _ _ _ _ [C#m] look at you.
_ _ _ [A] _
_ Oh, _ that is why _
[G#] _ all the guys in town _ _
[G#m] _ _ follow you,
_ [C#m]
you _ around.

[C#m] _ _ _
Let me [A] say it one more _ time. _ _

Buy you anything that you want me to [A] buy.
But [C#m] oh, _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
