I'm sentimental, so I walk in the rain
Cm7Cm7           F7b9F7b9        Dm7b5Dm7b5  G+7 Cm7Cm7
I've got some habits even I can't explain
      Cm7b5Cm7b5         Dm7Dm7             Dbdim7Dbdim7
Could start for the corner, turn up in Spain
    Cm7Cm7        F13F13   Dm7Dm7 G7b9G7b9
But why try to change me now

I sit and daydream, I've got daydreams galore
Cm7Cm7       F7b9F7b9             Dm7b5Dm7b5 G+7   Cm7Cm7
Cigarette ashes; there they go on the floor
     Cm7b5Cm7b5   Dm7Dm7                          Dbdim7Dbdim7
I'll go away weekends, leave my keys in the door

Don't you remember I was always your clown
