[Verse 1]
G How could this be so easy some days G And so hard at times when I could C G Use some help coming by my way D G I just don't know why you won't take me for myself
[Verse 2]
G You say that I should be somebody G Don't you think that I'd be funny C G In a suit and tie, a mister nine-to-five D G I just don't know why you won't take me for myself
[Bridge]
C9 I've been racking my brain G G7 G7 Trying to find a way to make ends meet C9 I've painted you pictures G G7 G7 Write you songs that you can sing A7 D7 G There ain't anybody else that I could be G Say, how long will it be now G How long will it be now G How long will it be now G C How long will it take ‘til you can see my side G I ain't no nine to five D G I just don't know why you won't take me for myself

[Verse 3]
G If you could only own a mountain made of solid gold C What difference would it make G You'd just have more to break D G And I don't know why you won't take me for myself D G I just don't know why you won't take me for myself D G I just don't know why you won't take me for myself D G I just don't know why you won't take me for myself
