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?

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?

Won't make me a miracle man?

And I don't wanna do it all in vain
