[Eb] he says he's not for [F] me.
[Bb] Cause I live up [F]

[D] on the poor side [Eb] of town.
But still I'm reaching, [C] reaching.

[Fm] Cause he tells me he has nothing,
and [Gm] his slave is not with me.

[Dm] he must let [Eb] me go.

[Fm] For a boy who cannot give me
[Gm] nothing but his love.
[Cm] But he's everything [B] I need.
