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! | / / / / |

I see no recognition in your eyes,

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#
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,
