[Intro]
Em Gm7 Gb7 When I try to sing you say I'm off key. Fmaj7 Cm B7 Why can't you see how much this hurts me? Gbm7 Gm7 A7 With your perfect beauty and your perfect pitch, Dm7 E7 You're a perfect terror, Amaj7 Ab7 Gmaj7 Gb7 When I come around must you always put me down?
[Verse 1]
Fmaj7 G7(b5) If you say my singing is off key, my love. Gm7 C9 Am7b5 D7b9 You will hurt my feelings, don't you see, my love? Gm7 A7b9 Dmaj9 D7b9 I wish I had an ear like yours, a voice that would behave. G7 Gbmaj7 Gb7(b5) All I have is feeling and the voice God gave.
[Verse 2]
Fmaj7 G7(b5) You insist my music goes against the rules. Gm7 C9 Am7b5 D7b9 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]
Amaj7 Ab7(#5) G13 Gb7 Its a crooked song, ah, but all my heart is there. Amaj7 A#dim7 Bm11 E7 The thing that you would see if you would play your part Amaj7 Am9 Bm11 Bb7(b5) Is, even if I'm out of tune, I have a gentle heart. Cmaj7 Dbdim7 Dm7 G13 I took your picture with my trusty Rolleiflex, Gm7 Ebm6 Ab9 Gm7 C7b9 And now all I have developed is a complex.
[Verse 3]
Fmaj7 G7(b5) Possibly in vain, I hope you weaken, oh my love, Gm7 C7 Am7b5 D7b9 And forget those rigid rules that undermine my dream of Bbmaj7 Bbm6 Am7 Adim7 A life of love and music with someone who'll understand G7 That even though I may be out of tune, Gbmaj7 When I attempt to say how much I love you, G7 Gm7 C7 All that matters is the message that I bring, Fmaj7 Cm7 Fmaj7 Which is my dear one, I love you.
