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.

Verse 1:

      Bb5   F5                        [ Bb5 : D5 - F5 - A5 - C5 ]

      Bb5      F5
      None of the usual things
          Eb5        C5 C5 Bb5      [ Eb5 : D5 - Eb5 - G5 - Bb5 ]
      I'm happy just to lay  and  look

      F5 A5    G5   A5   ( Bb5 )
      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:

      F5  A5    G5   C5
             Nice to me

      And would it bring you down
           G5   G5
      If I hang around   and just
      F5 A5    G5   C5
      Be    nice to me
                   Bb5        A5
      It's been a long, long time
              G5      A5
      Since I felt so fine

         Bb5 F5       G5      F5
      And I know your love is fine
      Bb5 F5         G5   G5   C5    G5
       I know what's on your mind, but

Verse 3:

      Don't laugh, don't cry
      Don't make me wonder why

      Can't you see somehow
      It's the wrong time now
      So please just be

          Be  nice to me
                   Bb5        F5          G5     G5
