There's no sense denyin'
           A           C#7       F#m
That's the reason they found you cryin'
B7                                Bm7 E7
Your chance'll never come 'round again

Why don't you move over, red robin
Bm7                   E7                       Amaj7
Have you got room for one more that just can't seem to win
