[Verse 1]
Aadd9 "The way I see it", he said, D/A "You just can't win it ... C/G Everybody's in it for their own gain G You can't please them all F/C Aadd9 There's always somebody calling you down D/A I do my best and I do good business C/G There's a lot of people asking for my time G They're trying to get ahead F/C | Aadd9 | % | They're trying to be a good friend of mine
[Chorus]
F/C I was a free man in Paris G C/G I felt unfettered and alive Asus4 D/A There was nobody calling me up for favors Aadd9 And no one’s future to decide F/C You know I'd go back there tomorrow G C/G But for the work I've taken on Asus4 D/A Stoking the star-maker machinery Aadd9 Behind the popular song

[Verse 2]
Aadd9 I deal in dreamers D/A And telephone screamers C/G Lately I wonder what I do it for G If I had my way F/C Aadd9 I'd just walk through those doors and wander D/A Down the Champs-Élysées C/G Going café to cabaret G Thinking how I'll feel when I find F/C | Aadd9 | % | That very good friend of mine
[Chorus]
F/C I was a free man in Paris G C/G I felt unfettered and alive Asus4 D/A There was nobody calling me up for favors Aadd9 And no one’s future to decide F/C You know I'd go back there tomorrow G C/G But for the work I've taken on Asus4 D/A Stoking the star-maker machinery Aadd9 Behind the popular song[“]
