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


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


G  G          A                D      Dmaj7/F#
^  ^   I've told you what you mean to me,
G               A      A7/C#        D           Dmaj7/F#
    I've even told you what you've... been--- to me,
G               A      A7/C#    F#m        Bm
    I wish we could be where we both be - long,
       Em            A               D      D7
But I...  can't do right for doing wrong!


G                           A       A4   A
    I say too little, or I say too much,
   D                Dsus2     D
I see no recognition in your eyes,
Bm                           F#m
     I try to fix it with a tender touch,
       G                   C         G/B      A     A7
But I see, too late, the chance has passed me by!


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

                              D     Dmaj7/F#
And we could get to where we want to be,
G                 A    A7/C#        D        Dmaj7/F#
    With just a little faith, and...   hone - sty
G                 A     A7/C#    F#m         Bm
    Instead of drifting where we don't be - long,
       Em            A              F#m
But I...  can't do right for doing wrong,
