[Verse 1]
E
You never asked me what I wanted, you only asked me why
                                              B     E
I never thought that so much trouble rested on my reply

[Pre-Chorus]
       A                           E
I could tell it was the nights when I was lonely
    A                           C#m
That you were the only one who'd talk
       A                          E
I could tell you that I liked your sensitivity
   F#                        B
But you know it's the way you walk

[Chorus]
A                             E
Why do you have to say there's always someone
       A                   E
Who can do it better than I can?
   A                                E
But don't you think that I know that walking on water
     B
Won't make me a miracle man?

[Verse 2]
E                     C#m
Baby's got to have the things she wants
              E                         C#m
You know she's gotta have the things she loves
           E                       C#m
She's got a ten-inch bamboo cigarette holder
       E            B       E
And her black patent leather gloves

[Pre-Chorus]
       A                     E
And I'm doing everything just trying to please her
    A                      C#m
Even crawling 'round on all fours
     A                          E
Oh, I thought by now that it was gonna be easy
       F#                      B
But she still seems to want for more

[Chorus]
A                             E
Why do you have to say there's always someone
       A                   E
Who can do it better than I can?
   A                                E
But don't you think that I know that walking on water
     B
Won't make me a miracle man?

[Verse 3]
E               C#m
Never give you a bad reputation
       E                     C#m
Just because you never been denied
      E                            C#m
You're trying to say you've done it all before, babe
   E             B        E
You know that you just get tired

[Pre-Chorus]
   A                   E
Yet everybody loves you so much, girl
      A                            C#m
I just don't know how you stand the strain
   A                 E
Oh, I'm the one who's here tonight
           F#                 B
And I don't wanna do it all in vain

[Chorus]
A                             E
Why do you have to say there's always someone
       A                   E
Who can do it better than I can?
   A                                E
But don't you think that I know that walking on water
     B
Won't make me a miracle man?
