G+G   A augmentedA   A7/C#   D MajorD   Dmaj7/F#
  If I seem kind of blue to you,
G+G           A augmentedA    A7/C#  D MajorD       Dmaj7/F#
  It's just 'cause I'm not getting...  through to you,
G+G        A augmentedA  A7/C#   F# minorF#m   B minorBm  E minorEm             F# minorF#m
  And I'll do any - thing you want me to,    just so we can get a - long!


G+G G+G     A augmentedA    A7/C#  D MajorD   Dmaj7/F#
^ ^  And if I should have a mind to say,
G+G        A augmentedA    A7/C#   D MajorD      Dmaj7/F#
  What is it makes you want to...  be this way?
G+G         A augmentedA    A7/C#   F# minorF#m    B minorBm
  Could be to - day's just not my...   lucky day,
    E minorEm              F# minorF#m
And I... can't do right for doing wrong!


G+G G+G     A augmentedA        D MajorD   Dmaj7/F#
^ ^  I've told you what you mean to me,
G+G        A augmentedA   A7/C#    D MajorD      Dmaj7/F#
  I've even told you what you've... been--- to me,
G+G        A augmentedA   A7/C#  F# minorF#m    B minorBm
  I wish we could be where we both be - long,
    E minorEm      A augmentedA        D MajorD   D7D7
But I... can't do right for doing wrong!


G+G              A augmentedA    A4  A augmentedA
  I say too little, or I say too much,
  D MajorD        Dsus2Dsus2   D MajorD
I see no recognition in your eyes,
B minorBm              F# minorF#m
   I try to fix it with a tender touch,
    G+G          C majorC     G/BG/B   A augmentedA   A7A7
But I see, too late, the chance has passed me by!

                  D MajorD   Dmaj7/F#
Sometimes when I don't have much time to stay,
G+G        A augmentedA    A7/C#    D MajorD      Dmaj7/F#
  I'll make a move, and watch you...  turn a - way,
G+G        A augmentedA    A7/C#   F# minorF#m    B minorBm
  I'll hesi - tate when I should come on strong,
    E minorEm      A augmentedA       F# minorF#m   G+G   A7A7 A7/C#
But I... can't do right for doing wrong! | / /  /  / |

               D MajorD   Dmaj7/F#
And we could get to where we want to be,
G+G         A augmentedA  A7/C#    D MajorD    Dmaj7/F#
  With just a little faith, and...  hone - sty
G+G         A augmentedA   A7/C#  F# minorF#m     B minorBm
  Instead of drifting where we don't be - long,
    E minorEm      A augmentedA       F# minorF#m
But I... can't do right for doing wrong,
G+G       A augmentedA    A7/C#  D MajorD   Dmaj7/F#  G+G   A augmentedA A7/C#
  Can't do right for doing wrong----------! | / /  /  / |
