[Gb] Old [Db] man sunshine, [Em] listen [Bb] you, never [Fm] tell me [Db] dreams come true, [Gb] just try it, [Db] and I'll [Gb] start a riot.
[Cm] [F] [F] Oprah [Fm] Winfrey, [Eb] don't you [Dm] dare, ever tell me [D] she will care, [Bb] I'm certain, [Cm] [D] it's the final [Bb] curtain.
I [Gb] never want to hear [Db] from any cheerful [Ebm] Pollyannas, who [Gb] tell you fate, supplies are mate, it's all bananas.
They're writing songs [B] of love, but [Db] not for [Ebm]
me, a [F] lucky [Ab] [B] star's above, but [Dbm] not for [Gb] me.
[Dbm] With love [Bb] to [B] lead the way, [Ab] I've found [F] more [Gb] skies of grey, [Gb] than [Gm] any [Abm] Russian fate could [Fm] guarantee.
[Am]
[B] [Bb] I [Gb] was a fool [B] to fall [Db] and [Gb] get that way, [Ebm] I [Fm] hold a [Gb] lash [B] and also lack [Bb] a day.
[G] Although I [Bm] can dismiss [Ab] the [Am] memory [Bbm] of her [Eb] kiss, [Gbm] I guess [Fm] she's [Ab] not [Abm] [B] for [Bbm] me.

[G] [Abm] [Fm] [C]
[B] It all [Gb] began [Abm] so well, [Db] but [Gb] why'd it [Ebm] end?
This is [Fm] the [Ab] time, [B] a fella [Db] needs [Bb] a friend.
[G] The climax [Bm] of the plot [Am] should be [Bbm] a [Gb] marriage, [Ebm] not [Bbm] that there's [Fm] no [Ab] night [Abm] [Db] for [Gb] me.
Although [B] I can [Ab] dismiss the memory [Bbm] of her kiss, [Fm] I guess she's [Ab] not [B] for [G] me.
