                            "Be Nice To Me"
                            (Todd Rundgren)

Note from AWR: right-hand keyboard voicings are given where not obvious;
the 7-1-3-5 voicing of the major-7th chords is a trademark Toddism.

Intro:

	Bb   F/A    Gm7  Gm7/C			[all voiced with F on top]

	None of the usual things

	Fmaj7 Am7    Gm9   A7   (Bbmaj9)
	Be    nice to me (nice to me)

Verse 2:

	So tired, so sad
	So sick of being had
	By everyone who comes along
	Would it be so wrong
	If you played along
	And please just be

Chorus 2/Bridge:

	Fmaj7  Am7    Gm9   C
	       Nice to me
	             Bbmaj9    Am7
	And would it bring you down
	     Gm7   Gm7/C
	If I hang around   and just
	Fmaj7 Am7    Gm9   C
	Be    nice to me
	             Bb        Am7
	It's been a long, long time
	        Gm7      A7
	Since I felt so fine

	   Bb F/A       Gm7      F
	And I know your love is fine
	Bb F/A         G   G7   C    G/B
	 I know what's on your mind, but

Verse 3:

	Don't laugh, don't cry
	Don't make me wonder why
	You're doing what you're doing now
	Can't you see somehow
	It's the wrong time now
	So please just be
