I never thought that so much trouble was a [Bm] result of [E] my reply.
[F#] [A] I could tell once a night that [E] I was the one to hit [A] you with the only [C#m] one you are.
[A] I could tell you that I [E] liked your sense of humor.
I could tell [F#] you that you know it the way [B] that you are.
[A]
Why do you have to [E] say that there's always someone [A] who can do it better than I [E] can?
[A]
Don't you think that [E] I know that walking on a water [B] won't make me a miracle man?
[E]
Baby's got a half [C#m] a thing she [E] wants.
You know she's got the half a thing she'll hurt.
Got a jam and a bamboo [C#m] cigarette holder [E] and a flat plate and lemon blood.
[F#] [A] And I'm doing everything just [E] trying to please her.
[A] You can crawl around on [C#m] all fours.
[A] I thought by now that [E] I was going to ease her [F#] but it still seems a one [B] for sure.

Oh [E] yeah!
[C#m] [A] [E]
She's never given [C#m] you a [E] bad reputation just because you've never been denied.
She's tried to say you've done it all before.
Baby, you know that you're just [F#m] entire.
[G#m] [A]
Everybody loves you [E] so much [Bm] girl.
I [A] just don't know how you stand [C#m] the strain.
[A]
I don't want to [E] see you tonight.
[F#] I don't want to do this all [B] in vain.
[A]
Why do you have to say there's [E] always someone [A] who can do it better than [E] I can?
