[Eb] [Ab]
[Bb] [Ab]
[Eb] It's a little [Ab] bit funny, Lord, [Bb] this feeling [Gm] inside.
[Cm] I'm not [Eb] one of those who [A] can easily [Ab] hide.
[Eb] I don't have [Bb] much money, but [B] boy, if [Cm] I did,
[Eb] I'd buy a [Fm] big mansion [Ab] where we [Bb] both could live.
[Eb]
If [Ab] I was a sculptor, Lord, [Bb] I'd hold it, but then [Gm] again, no.

Oh, I've got [Eb] all those [F] potions and a [Ab] traveling show.
[Eb]
I know [Bb] it's not much.
I know it's not [G] much, but it's the best [Cm] I can do.
[Eb]
You gave [Fm] me a gift, Lord, [Ab]
and I'm gonna sing it [Eb] for you.
[Bb] And you can [Cm] tell [Fm] everybody that a fitness [Ab] is a song.
[Bb] It may [Cm] be a great, great, just simple [Fm] project, but that's how [Ab] it goes.
[Cm] I hope you don't [Eb] mind.
I hope you [F] don't mind what I wrote down in [Ab] words.

Well, if [Eb]
I [Ab] was on a rooftop, [Bb]

and then I'd [Ab] hit the blues.
[Eb]
But the sun's been [Bb] quite, quite down [G] while I wrote [Cm] this song.
Oh, [Eb]

It's a dream [Ab] of blues.
[Eb] And it ain't a [Bb] thing, it ain't a [G] thing, what I [Cm] really mean.
[Eb] You are the sweetest [Fm] eyes, you've got the sweetest [Ab] eyes.
The best love I've [Eb] ever seen, I hope you go back.
I [Bb] hope you go back [Cm] and tell everybody [Fm]
