[Intro]
Em Gm7 Gb7
When I try to sing you say I'm off key.
F Cm C B7
Why can't you see how much this hurts me?
D7 Gbm7 Gm7 A7
With your perfect beauty and your perfect pitch,
Dm7 E7
You're a perfect terror,
A7M Ab7 G7M Gb7
When I come around must you always put me down?
[Verse 1]
F7M G7(b5)
If you say my singing is off key, my love.
Gm7 C9 Am7-5 D(b9)
You will hurt my feelings, don't you see, my love?
Gm7 A7(b9) D(#9) D(b9)
I wish I had an ear like yours, a voice that would behave.
G7 Gb7M Gb7(b5)
All I have is feeling and the voice God gave.
[Verse 2]
F7M G7(b5)
You insist my music goes against the rules.
Gm7 C9 Am7-5 D(b9)
Yes, but rules were never made for lovesick fools.
Gm7 A7(#5) Dm7 E7
I wrote this little song for you, but you don't care.
[Bridge]
A7M A7(#5) G13 Gb7
Its a crooked song, ah, but all my heart is there.
A7M A#dim Bm11 E7
The thing that you would see if you would do your part
A7M Am9 Bm11 Bb7(b5)
Is, even if I'm out of tune, I have a gentle heart.
C7M C#dim Dm7 G13
I took your picture with my trusty Rolleiflex,
Gm7 Ebm6 Ab9 Gm7 C(b9)
And now all I have developed is a complex.
[Verse 3]
F7M G7(b5)
Possibly in vain, I hope you weaken, oh my love,
Gm7 C7 Am7-5 D(b9)
And forget those rigid rules that undermine my dream of
Bb7M Bbm6 Am7 Abdim
A life of love and music with someone who'll understand
G7
That even though I may be out of tune,
Gb7M
When I attempt to say how much I love you,
G7 Gm7
All that matters is the message that I bring,
C7 F7M Cm7 F7M Cm7 F7M
Which is my dear one, I love you.
