    /   /       /   /       /   /     /       /       /   /     /   /
 G           A           A7/C#       D         D7M/F# 
        If I seem kind of blue to you,
 G                                       A             A7/C#       D                         D7M/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                      A               A7/C#     D           D7M/F# 
^   ^     And if I should have a mind to say,
 G                               A             A7/C#         D                     D7M/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                      A           A7/C#         D           D7M/F# 
^   ^     I've told you what you mean to me,
 G                             A           A7/C#               D                     D7M/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                               D2         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         D7M/F# 
Sometimes when I don't have much time to stay,
 G                               A               A7/C#             D                   D7M/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 say too little, or I say too much,

But I see, too late, the chance has passed me by!
                                                             D         D7M/F# 
And we could get to where we want to be,
 G                                 A       A7/C#               D               D7M/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,
                       A             A7/C#     D 
Can't do right for doing wrong!
