Bartender, I'd like a Manhattan please

Ebmaj7            C9
Stop me if you've heard this one

Fm7            Bb9
but I feel as though we've met before

Ebmaj7 C9
     Perhaps I am mistaken

Fm7                    Bb9        G7
But it's just that I remind you of

   Cm7              Fm7
Someone you used to care about

                      Bb9
Oh, but that was long ago

Ebmaj7                                        C9
Now tell me, do you really think I'd fall for that old line

  Fm7                Bb9
I was not born just yesterday

          Ebmaj7        Db9          Gb7   Bb9
Besides I never talk to strangers anyway

 Ebmaj7              C9
Hell, I ain't a bad guy when you get to know me

Fm7                Bb9
I just thought there ain't no harm

Ebmaj7           C9
Hey, yeah, just try minding your own business, bud

Fm7                       Bb9  G7
Who asked you to annoy me

          Cm7           Db7
With your sad, sad repartee

          Ebmaj7        Db9          Gb7   Fm7
Besides I never talk to strangers anyway

     Ab                 Db7
Your life's a dimestore novel

Eb
This town is full of guys like you

           Ab             Db7     Eb
And you're looking for someone to take the place of her

            G7         Cm
You must be reading my mail

                           G
And you're bitter cause he left you

                 Cm                Cm7
That's why you're drinkin' in this bar

           Ab              C7                Fm7  Bb7
Well, only suckers fall in love with perfect strangers

Ebmaj7            C9
It always takes one to know one stranger

Fm7                Bb9
Maybe we're just wiser now

Ebmaj7            C9
Yeah, and been around that block so many times

Fm7             Bb9   G7
That we don't notice

           Cm                            Cmmaj7
That we're all just perfect strangers as long as we ignore

        Cm7
That we all begin as strangers

Am7
Just before we find

   Eb            Bsus4        Ebadd9
We really aren't strangers anymore

Db9    Gb9    Ebmaj7    Ebmaj7
Aw, you don't look like such a chump
