[Verse 1]
G      A      A7/C#   D       
    If I seem kind of blue to 
Dmaj7/F#
you,
G                    A       
    It's just 'cause I'm not 
A7/C#    D             Dmaj7/F#
getting  ...through to you,
G               A     A7/C#     
    And I'll do any - thing you 
F#m     Bm
want me to,
Em                         F#m
    Just so we can get a - long

^  ^   And if I should have a

mind to say,
G              A         A7/C#   
    What is it makes you want to 
 D          Dmaj7/F#
 ...be this way?
G                 A          
    Could be to - day's just 
A7/C#      F#m        Bm
not my...       lucky day,
       Em                          
And I...  can't do right for doing 
F#m
wrong

[Verse 3]
G  G        A        A7/C#    
^  ^   I've told you what you 
D       Dmaj7/F#
mean to me,
G             A        A7/C#    
    I've even told you what

you've  ...been--- to me,
G             A        A7/C#    
    I wish we could be where we

both be - long,

[Verse 4]

 much,
  D                  Dsus2     D
I see no recognition in   your eyes,

     I try to fix it with a tender 
touch,
      G                  C        
But I see, too late, the chance 
  G/B       A     A7
has passed me by

[Verse 5]
Sometimes when I don't have much 
D       Dmaj7/F#
time to stay,
G               A         A7/C# 
    I'll make a move, and watch 
     D           Dmaj7/F#
you  ...turn a - way,
G               A         A7/C#  
    I'll hesi - tate when I 
  F#m     Bm
should come on strong,

But I   ...can't do right for

to be,
