[Intro]
D/F#    Dm/F   (x6)


[Verse]
D/F#           Dm/F
I could make a dress 
  D/F#           Dm/F
A robe fit for a prince 
D/F#             Dm/F
I could clothe a continent 
    D/F#          Dm/F
But i can't sew a stitch


D/F#           Dm/F
I can paint my face
    D/F#            Dm/F
And stand very very still
D/F#         Dm/F
Its not very practical
       C              G
But it still pays the bills


D/F#              Dm/F
I can't change my name
    D/F#            Dm/F
But i could be your type
D/F#            Dm/F
I can dance and win at games
     C              G
Like backgammon and life


[Chorus]
D           C                G
  I used to be the smart one, sharp as a tack
D              C                   G
Funny how that skipping years ahead has held me back
D           C                 G
  I used to be the bright one, top in my class
D               C                 G
Funny what they give you when you just learn how to ask


[Verse]
D/F#          Dm/F
I can write a song
    D/F#           Dm/F
But i cant sing in key
D/F#         Dm/F
I can play piano 
      D/F#             Dm/F
But i never learned to read


D/F#           Dm/F
I can't trap a mouse
    D/F#        Dm/F
But i can pet a cat
D/F#          Dm/F
No i'm really serious!
    C           G
I'm really very good at that


D/F#          Dm/F
I can't fix a car
    D/F#        Dm/F
But i can fix a flat
D/F#         Dm/F
I could fix alot of things 
        C              G
But i'd rather not get into that


[Chorus]
D           C                 G
  I used to be the bright one, smart as a whip
D             C                G
Funny how you slip so far when teachers dont keep track of it
D           C                G
  I used to be the tight one, the perfect fit
D               C               G
Funny how those compliments can make you feel so full of it

D    C   G7
D    C    G7


[Verse]
      D/F#            Dm/F
I can shuffle cut and deal
    D/F#           Dm/F
But i can't draw a hand
D/F#               Dm/F
    I can't draw a lot of things
  D/F#           Dm/F
I hope you understand 
        D/F#          Dm/F
I'm not exceptionally shy
         D/F#        Dm/F
But i've never had a man
     D/F#                  Dm/F
That i could look straight in the eye 
    C              G
And tell my secret plans


D/F#         Dm/F
I can take a vow
    D/F#         Dm/F
And i can wear a ring 
    D/F#           Dm/F
And i can make you promises but 
C          G
They won't mean a thing


[Chorus]
D                C            G
  Can't you just do it for me, i'll pay you well
D                 C           G         G7
Fuck i'll pay you anything if you could end this
D                C             G
  Can't you just fix it for me, it's gone berserk
D                  C           G                G7         D
Fuck i'll give you anything if you can make the damn thing work


D                C             G            G7
  Can't you just fix it for me, ill pay you well,
D                C            G       G7
Fuck ill pay you anything, if you can end this 
   D     C                 G
Hello, i love you will you tell me your name?
   D                C                  G       G7       D
Hello, i'm good for nothing - will you love me just the same?

     C    G  G7
D    C    G  G7

        D    C    G  G7
