[Ab] Is this song on this deal, Uncle,
doing the best I [Bb] can,
is that [Ab] something that you _ _ _ live by?
[Bb] _ _ Well, that's [Ab] really the story of my life.
That's the story, especially of the last three years [Bb] of my life.
_ _ [Ab] _ And I think I wrote that song really because
sometimes I get tired of people telling me their opinions of what I do.
_ [Gb] Because I want to say to them,
you have no [Fm] idea _ what I live with.
[Ab] You have no idea [Bbm] what my life is like.
You have no idea [Ab] the responsibility that I feel to people
[Ebm] or the guilt that I [Ab] carry around with me.
[Eb] _ Or [Ab] _ how much I want to please everybody
and how hard I try to please everybody
and make everybody happy.
It's very difficult.
I mean, it's aging.
[G] _ _ And _ _ doing the best I can sort of _ _ _ _ says,
get off my back, basically. _
I'm doing the best that I can. _
And I have been doing the best I can for as long as I can remember.
_ So either give me a break or leave me alone. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Ab] And it's a very serious song.
I mean, it's sad.
_ In my distress I wanted someone to blame me.
_ In my own way, disaster was the only thing I could depend on.
I mean, that's pretty down in the very depths of despair. _ _
Which is where I pretty much was when I wrote the song.
Which _ meant, I cannot take all of this advice
_ and go on living with all of you.
You've got to let me grow up and leave me _ to my own decisions.
_ [Bbm] _
I'm a grown-up.
_ [Eb] _ [Ab] _ _
I'm not a [Db] child.
_ [Bbm] _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ [Db] _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Db] _ _ _ [Ab] _ [Bbm] _ _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _
[Db] _ _ _ [Ab] _ [Bbm] _ _ _
It was one [Eb] for [Ab] you _ _
[Db] It was [Ab] three for _ [Gb] me
[Db] It was [Ab] very _ nice
_ It was _ [Bbm] everything
_ _ So here [Ab] it _ _ _ is
[Db] In little [Ab] _ pieces
_ _ _ [Db] _
_ [Ab] _ _ In _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ little pieces
I didn't win or [Ab] lose
_ [Db] I just [Ab] threw the _ _ [Gb] cards
_ [Db] But [Ab] I paid a price for it
And it's _ [Db] alright [Ab] baby
_ I'm doing the [Db] best [Ab] that I [Bbm] can
_ _ And _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] the whispered secrets
_ _ [Db] They go on and on
No one says _
[Ab] anything to _ anyone _ _
_ _ [Bbm] You _ watch after [Ab] _ her
_ And [Db] your word is law
She thought she [Ab] was out there
_ And _ nobody [Bb] saw
_ I [Bbm] didn't [Ab] win or _ lose
_ I just [Db] [Ab] played the [Gb] part
_ _ _ [Db] But I [Ab] paid a price [Db] for [Eb] it _
[Gb] _ [Ab] It's alright [Db] _ [Ab] baby _
I'm doing [Db] the best [Ab] that I [Bbm] _ _ can Uh [Ab]-huh _
_ _ _ _ [Db] _ [Ab] It's _ _ _ _ [Db] alright [Ab] baby _
I'm doing [Db] the best [Ab] that I _ can
_ [Bbm] _ _ I
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ [Gb] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Ab] _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ was silent, [Eb] I was locked [Gb] away
[Bb] _ _ [Ab] _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ [Gb] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Ab] _ [Bb] _
Silent all day
_ [Eb] _
Out [Gb] of my [Bb] _ [Ab] hands [Bb]
here
_ _ _ _ In _
_ [Bbm] _ my _ [Eb] distress
[Ab] _
Well _ [Db] I [Ab] wanted [Gb] someone to [Db] blame _ [Ab] _
me
_ _ [Db] In [Ab] my _
[Bbm] _ _ devastation
_ _ [Ab] _
Well I wanted _ [Db] _ [Ab] soul to _ [Gb] change
_ [Db] _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ _ _ [Db] In _ [Abm] _
[Bbm] my _ _ _ way
[Ab] _ _
_ Disaster was the only [Db] thing [Gb] _ I could [Db] depend _ [Ab] _
on
_ _ [Db] But _ [Ab] _ _
[Gb] it's [Db] alright _ [Ab] baby
I'm doing the best that I [Bbm] _ can
_ _ _ [Ab] It's _ _ _ _ [Db] _ _ [Ab] _ _
[Gb] _ _ alright _ [Ab] baby
I'm doing [Db] the best [Ab] that I [Bb] _ can
_ [Bbm] _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Db] _ _ And [Gb] I'm trying hard [Db] to [Ab] change _
I'm doing it the [Db] best [Ab] that I [Bbm] can
It's alright _ [Ab] baby _
[Bb] I'm doing [Ab] the best [Db] that I can
Ooh, he [Ab] says I hear [Db] you're [Ab] doing fine
And you're doing the best [Db] that you [Bbm] can
It's alright _ [Ab] baby
_ I'm doing the best that I can
Ooh, [Gb] _ I [Ab] hear you're doing fine
And you're doing the best that you [Bbm] _ can
_ [Ab] He [Db] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
[Db] _ says _ [Ab] well [Gb] _
I [Ab] hear you're doing [Db] fine
And you're [Ab] _ doing it the [Db] best [Ab] that you _ _ [Bbm] can _ _
_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
