[Verse 1]
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
    And I'll do any - thing you want me to,
Em                         F#m
    Just so we can get a - long

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Verse 4]
G                          A       Asus4  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

[Verse 5]
                                 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! |  /  /  /  /  |

[Verse 7]
                             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,
