Tom: E5

Intro: E5    C#5     E5    C#5

E5                  C#5           E5
You never asked me what I wanted. You only asked me why.
C#5   E5                    C#5                  E5          B5    E5
I never thought that so much trouble was a restin' on my reply,
        A5                            E5         
I could say it was the nights when I was lonely 
    A5                          C#5
And you were the only one who'd come.
        A5                         E5
I could tell you that I like your sensitivity,
     F#5                              B5
When you know it's the way that you walk.
A5                                     E5
Why do you have to say that there's always someone 
        A5                        E5
Who can do it better than I can?
    A5                                E5
But don't you think that I know that walking on the water
      B5   n c                B5
Won't make me a miracle man?
E5                     C#5
Baby's gotta have the things she wants.
               E5                                C#5
You know she's gotta have the things she loves.
           E5                C#5
She's got a ten-inch bamboo cigarette holder 
        E5            B5       E5
and her black patent leather gloves.
        A5                           E5
And I'm doing everything just tryin' to please her,
     A5                     C#5
Even crawling around on all fours.
      A5                          E5
Oh, I thought by now that it was gonna be easy,
        F#5                      B5
But she still seems to want for more.
A5                                     E5
Why do you have to say that there's always someone 
        A5                        E5
Who can do it better than I can?
    A5                                E5
But don't you think that I know that walking on the water
      B5   n c                B5
Won't make me a miracle man?   Oh yeah
E5                         C#5                   E5     
Yeah they're givin' you a bad reputation just because you've never been denied.     
   C#5            E5                   C#5                   E5
You try to say you've done it all before. Baby, you know that you 
B5        E5          A5                     E5
just get tired. Yet everybody loves you so much, girl.
       A5                           C#5              A5                 E5
I just don't know how you stand the strain. Oh, but I'm the one who's here
                     F#5                 B5
tonight, and I don't wanna do it all in vain.
A5                                     E5
Why do you have to say that there's always someone 
        A5                        E5
Who can do it better than I can?
    A5                                E5
But don't you think that I know that walking on the water
      B5   n c                B5
Won't make me a miracle man?   Oh yeah
               B5
A miracle man?   Oh yeah
               B5
A miracle man?   Oh yeah
               B5
A miracle man?   Oh yeah
