Elvis Costello – Miracle Man (Ukulele)

E                  C#m           E
You never asked me what I wanted. You only asked me why.

C#m E                    C#m                  E          B    E
   I never thought that so much trouble was a restin' on my reply,

        A                            E
I could say it was the nights when I was lonely

    A                          C#m
and you were the only one who'd come.

        A                         E
I could tell you that I like your sensitivity,

     F#                              B
when you know it's the way that you walk.

A                                     E
Why do you have to say that 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 the water

      B n.C.                 B B B B B
won't make me a miracle man?

E                     C#m
Baby's gotta 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.

        A                           E
And I'm doing everything just tryin' to please her,

     A                     C#m
even crawling around 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.

E                         C#m                   E
Yeah they're givin' you a bad reputation just because you've never

B        E          A                     E
just get tired. Yet everybody loves you so much, girl.

E
I just don't know how you stand the strain. Oh, but I'm the one who's

                     F#                 B
tonight, and I don't wanna do it all in vain.
