Cm7      F7 (131241@1)         Bbmaj7 (x13231@1)    G9I'm (x2323x@1)sentimental, so I walk in the rain
Cm7           F7b9        Dm7b5  G+7 Cm7
I've got some habits even I can't explain
      Cm7b5         Dm7             Dbdim7
Could start for the corner, turn up in Spain
    Cm7        F13 (1x1233@1) Dm7 G7b9
But why try to change me now

Cm7       F7 (131241@1)               Bbmaj7 (x13231@1)    G9I (x2323x@1)sit and daydream, I've got daydreams galore
Cm7       F7b9             Dm7b5 G+7   Cm7
Cigarette ashes; there they go on the floor
     Cm7b5   Dm7                          Dbdim7
I'll go away weekends, leave my keys in the door
    Cm7        F13 (1x1233@1) Dm7 G7b9
But why try to change me now

Gm7         F#m7 (131141@2)     Fm7 (131141@1)  Bb7 (x13131@1)      Eb6/9 (xx1011@1)        C+7     Fm7Bb9
Why can't I be more conventional, People talk, and they stare So I try 
Eb6/9 (xx1011@1)    Am7 (x02010@1) Ab7 (xx1112@1)But that's not for me
Gm7           C7Cause (x32310@1)I can't see 
Fmaj7 (1x3210@1)     Dm7  Gm7   C7 (x32310@1)My kind of crazy world
Cm7 F7 (131241@1)      Bm7Go (x20202@1)passing me by

Cm7           F7 (131241@1)            Bbmaj7 (x13231@1)       G9So (x2323x@1)let people wonder, let 'em laugh, let 'em frown
Cm7           F7b9              Dm7b5         G+7
You know I'll love you till the moon's upside down
Cm7       Ab9 (x3434x@1)          Dm7         Dbdim7
