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

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
