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      A7/C#     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,
