Key: F
Introduction:
Fm7/A Abº Gm7 Gb7(b5)
When I try to sing you say I?m off key
Fm7/A Abº Eb6 G B7/F#
Why can?t you see how much this hurts me?
D/F# F#º Gm7
With your perfect beauty and your perfect pitch
Dm7 E7 Am7 Ab7(#5)
You are a perfect terror When I come around
G7(13) Gb7(b5)
Must you always put me down
F6(9) G7(b5) G7(13)
If you say my singing is off key my love
Gm7(9) C7(13) Am7(b5)
You will hurt my feelings don?t you see my love
Gm7 A7(#5) Dm7
I wish I had an ear like yours A voice that would be-have
G7(9) F#m7
All I have is feeling and the voice God gave
F6(9) G7(b5) G7(13)
You insist my music goes against the rules
Gm7(9) C7(13) Am7(b5)
Yes but rules were never made for love sick fools
Gm7 Dm7
I wrote this little song for you but you don?t care
A7M Ab7(#5) G7(13) Gb7(#5)
It?s a crooked song, ah - but all my heart is there
A7M A#º Bm7 E7(13)
The thing that you would see If you would play your part
A7M Am6 Bm7(b5)
Is even if I?m out of tune I have a gentle heart
C7M C#º Dm7 G7(13) G7(#5)
I took your picture with my trusty Rolley flex
Gm7 Ab7(9) G7(13) G7(#5) C7(9)
And now all I have developed is a com-plex
F6(9) G7(b5) G7(13)
Possibly in vain I hope you weaken, oh my love
Gm7(9) C7(13) Am7(b5)
And for-get those rigid rules That undermine my dream of
Bb7M Bbm6 Am7 Abº
A life of love and music With someone who?ll understand
G7
That even though I may be out of tune
Gb7M
When I attempt to say how much I love you
Gm7(b5) C7
All that matters is the message that I bring
F6(9) C7(#5) F6(9)
Which is my dear one I love you.
