[Verse]
   D
No matter what I do I can't make you happy
                     C          G       D
Though I go to great lenghts to do your will
   G                             D
If you say hurry, girl I make it snappy
E                               A
Trying hard to keep your wishes filled
        D
But I'm getting tired and feeling real discouraged
   Bm                                 G
So here's a message you can give your mama
         D               A7             D
Starting now I'm looking out for number one

[Chorus]
      G
Lord, everyone around me
I've tried so hard to please
         D
Till the only one unhappy
Feeling broken down is me
    Bm
But things are gonna change
     G
With each new setting sun
         D               A7             D
Starting now I'm looking out for number one

[Verse]
     D
It's getting hard to face my morning mirror
                            C       G       D
There's a stranger in there staring back at me
   G                                   D
He tells me every day it's getting cle arer
E                                  A
Son you're not the man you used to be
          D
Yeah it's time to get this monkey off my shoulder
                            G                    D
And quit worrying 'bout the things that you want done
    Bm                                    G
I'm gonna start the fire that you have sm oldered
                D               A7             D
'Cause starting now I'm looking out for number one

[Chorus]
      G
Lord, everyone around me
I've tried so hard to please
         D
Till the only one unhappy
Feeling broken down is me
    Bm
But things are gonna change
     G
With each new setting sun
         D               A7             D
Starting now I'm looking out for number one

D
Yeah number one
Number one
