Verse:
G minorGm Bb majorBb
One of those days
Cm7Cm7
That just comes and goes

It's not so special
G minorGm Bb majorBb
She watches the birds
Cm7Cm7
That rest on a ledge
Dm7Dm7
Outside her room
Cm7Cm7
The wallpaper old and faded
Bb majorBb G minorGm
A augmentedA crack in the window pane
Bb majorBb Cm7Cm7
The radio just keeps playing
Bb majorBb Eb MajorEb Bb majorBb
Playing that same old song.

G minorGm Bb majorBb
She smiles to herself
Cm7Cm7
"they think that i'm strange...

...they say I'm a dreamer
G minorGm Bb majorBb
...but I don't complain,
Cm7Cm7
Though I don't have much
Dm7Dm7
To call my own."

And she's not a beauty queen

'cause she's not the only one
She says,

Where I keep the best of things

For my piece of heaven.

I just turn the key
The key to the

...kingdom..."

Verse:
G minorGm Bb majorBb
She stares at the page
Cm7Cm7 Dm7Dm7
Of a new magazine, the morning papers
G minorGm Bb majorBb
She walks into town
Cm7Cm7
And catches a show
Dm7Dm7
If she can find the time
Cm7Cm7
And she's not a movie star, no
Bb majorBb G minorGm
And she's not a beauty queen
Bb majorBb Cm7Cm7
She'll tell you it doesn't matter

'cause she's not the only one.
