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! | / /  /  / |

But I see, too late, the chance has passed me by!


               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,
G       A    A7/C#  D   Dmaj7/F#  G   A A7/C#
