Joel recorded many popular hit songs and albums from 1971 until he stopped recording pop/rock music in 1993.

G7 Bbmaj7 C/F
Why can't I lay low
G7 Bbmaj7 C/F
Why can't I say what I mean
G7 Bbmaj7 C/F
Why don't I stay home
G7 Bbmaj7 C/F Em7
And get myself into some boring routine

Em7 A Bm7
Why can't I calm down
Em7 A Bm7
Why is it always a fight
Em7 A Bm7
I can't get unwound
Em7 Am D9sus4 G7 F13
Why do I throw myself into the night

[G7 F13] x 3

G7 Bbmaj7 C/F
I'm on the outside
G7 Bbmaj7 C/F
I don't fit into the groove
G7 Bbmaj7 C/F
Now I ain't a bad guy
G7 Bbmaj7 C/F Em7
So tell me what am I trying to prove

Em7 A Bm7
Why can't I cool out
Em7 A Bm7
Why don't I button my lip
Em7 A Bm7
Why do I lash out
Em7 Am D9sus4 Dm
Why is it I always shoot from the hip

Dm Dmaj7/2+
I cruise from Houston to canal street
Dm7 Bm7b5
A misfit and a rebel
Dm Dmaj7/2+
I see the winds talking to themselves
Dm7 Bm7b5 Em7/4-
And I can understand
Am7 Emaj7
Why is it every time I go out
C6 F#m7b5
I always seem to get in trouble
Am7 Am/D
I guess I made an impression on somebody
G7 F13
North of Hester and south of grand

[G7 F13] x 3

G7 Bbmaj7 C/F
And so in my small way
G7 Bbmaj7 C/F
I'm a big man on Mulberry street
G7 Bbmaj7 C/F
I don't mean all day
G7 Bbmaj7 C/F Em7
Only at night when I'm light on my feet

Em7 A Bm7
What else have I got
Em7 A Bm7
That I'd be trying to hide
Em7 A Bm7
Maybe a blind spot
Em7 Am D9sus4 Dm
I haven't seen from the sensitive side

Dm Dmaj7/2+ Dm7 Bm7b5
Dm Dmaj7/2+ Dm7 Bm7b5 Em7/4-
Am7 Emaj7 C6 F#m7b5
Am7 Am/D

[G7 F13] x 4

G7 Bbmaj7 C/F
But you know in my own heart
G7 Bbmaj7 C/F
I'm a big man on Mulberry street
G7 Bbmaj7 C/F
I play the whole part
G7 Bbmaj7 C/F Em7
I leave a big tip with every receipt

Em7 A Bm7
I'm so romantic
Em7 A Bm7
I'm such a passionate man
Em7 A Bm7
Sometimes I panic
Em7 Am D9sus4 G7 F13
What if nobody finds out who I am

[G7 F13]
Repeat and Fade out
