Elphie, now that we're friends

I've decided to make you my new 
project

Oh, you really don't have to do that

I know! That's what makes me so nice

    F#m    F#m/E B/D#     
Whenever I see  someone less 
    E/G#           A9
fortunate than I
          F#m      F#m/E      
And let's face it, right? Who 
B/D#       E/G#           D9
isn't less fortunate than I?
   D/C   C    C/Bb    Bb       
My tender heart tends to start to 
A9
bleed
         F#m     F#m/E   B/D#    
And when someone needs a 
    E/G#           A9
makeover, I simply have to take over
  F9           Bb9/Ab           
I know, I know exactly what they
E2    E
 need
    Em           A
And even in your case
                F#m7               
Though it's the toughest case I've 
B/D#
yet to face
      Em           G/C       
Don't worry, I'm determined to 
   A9    A
succeed
   D/G   A9    Bm7
Follow my lead
    E9     A
And yes, indeed

You will be, ah

Little ways to flirt and flounce,

I'll show you what shoes to

It's not about aptitude, it's the

So it's very   shrewd   to be

Very, very popular like   me, me
