[Intro]~
C  Cmaj7  F  G  C  Cmaj7  F  G  C  Cmaj7  F  G  C  Cmaj7  F


[Verse 1]~
  G              C   Cmaj7  F
If I seem kind of blue

                G              C           Cmaj7  F
It's just 'cause I'm not getting through to you

       G            Em      Am  Dm
I'll do anything you want me to

                   Em     F  G
Just so we can get along


[Verse 2]~
      G               C       Cmaj7  F
And if I should have a mind to say

          G                 C       Cmaj7  F
What is it makes you want to be this way

          G                 Em    Am
Could be today's just not my lucky day

     Dm                        Em      F
And I,.. can't do right for doing wrong


[Verse 3]~
    G                 C       Cmaj7  F
I've told you what you mean to me

         G                    C       Cmaj7  F
I've even told you what you've been to me

         G                 Em     Am
I wish we could be where we both belong

     Dm                        Em      F
But I,.. can't do right for doing wrong


[Chorus]~
                     G
I say too little or I say too much

C                                ~ Am
I see no recognition in your eyes

                      Em
I try to fix it with a tender touch

     F                     Bb                   G
But I see too late that the chance has passed my by


[Verse 4]~
                                C   Cmaj7  F
Sometimes when I don't have much time to stay

           G                  C     Cmaj7  F
I'll make a move and watch you turn away

        G                  Em      Am
I'll hesitate when I should come on strong

     Dm                        Em     F  G
But I,.. can't do right for doing wrong


[Instrumental]~
C  Cmaj7  F  G  C  Cmaj7  F  G  Em  Am  G   C  C7  F


[Chorus]~
                     G
I say too little or I say too much

C                                ~ Am
I see no recognition in your eyes

                      Em
I try to fix it with a tender touch

     F                     Bb                   G
But I see too late that the chance has passed my by


[Verse 5]~
                            C       Cmaj7  F
But we could get to where we want to be

           G               C     Cmaj7  F
With just a little faith and honesty

          G                 Em      Am
Instead of drifting where we don't belong

       Dm                        Em     F
Where we can't do right for doing wrong

        G               C      Cmaj7  F  G  C  Cmaj7  F
Can't do right for doing wrong

        G               C   Cmaj7  F
Can't do right for doing wrong

        G               C
Can't do right for doing wrong
