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.
Cm7 Fmaj7 Cm7 Fmaj7 Fmaj7
