No matter what I do I can?t make you happy 
                    Bm      A       E
Though I go to great lengths to do your will 
    A                            E
If you say hurry girl I make it snappy  
 F#                          B
Trying hard to keep your wishes filled 
         E
But I'm getting tired and feeling real discouraged 
     A                            E
>From being pressured underneath your thumb 
    C#m                            A
So here's a message you can give your mama 
          E             B            E
Starting now I'm looking out for number one 
Chorus: 
     A
Lord everyone around me I've tried so hard to please 
         E
Till the only one unhappy feeling broken down is me 
     C#m                       A
But things are gonna change with each new setting sun 
         E             B             E
Starting now I'm looking out for number one 
      E
It's getting hard to face my morning mirror 
                          Bm      A      E
There's a stranger in there staring back at me 
   A                             E
He tells me everyday it's getting clearer  
F#                            B
Son your not the man you used to be 
            E
Yeah it's time to get this monkey off my shoulder 
         A                                   E
And quit worrying about the things that you want done 
      C#m                             A
I'm gonna start the fire that you have smoldered 
              E              B            E
Cause starting now I'm looking out for number one 
repeat chorus: 
               E            B             E
Yeah starting now I'm looking out for number one
