[Chorus]
[Bdim7] C C9 He makes it look so easy, he looks so clean F F#dim7 He moves like God's immaculate machine C He makes me think about E7 All of these extra moves I make Am And all this herky-jerky motion C7 And the bag of tricks it takes F Bb9 To get me through my working day [ Am7 ] One-trick pony
