Intro E C#m B Asus4
 
E          C#m            B                 
 Six numbers, one more to dial
Asus4          Asus4 B       E  
before I'm before you tonight 
            C#m
I tried to call
               B
been busy all night
    Asus4             Asus4 B  F#m7 
gave up waiting at daylight  


F#m7                 B     E
Excuse me Mrs. Busybody 
E        F#m7       Asus4         B      E
could you pencil me in when you can
         F#m7                 Asus4       C#m
though we both know that the worst part about it  
             Asus4            F#            Asus4    B
is I would be free when you wanted me (when you wanted me) 


E      F#m7          Asus4    B
I am the man on the side  
E      F#m7          Asus4    B
hoping you'll make up your mind  
E      F#m7           C#m           B
I am the one who will swallow his pride  
D          Asus4          E
life as the man on the side 


E           C#m
One of the many
            B 
One of the few
Asus4               B         E  
to stand back and wait for you  


F#m7                 B     E
Excuse me Mrs. Busybody 
E        F#m7       Asus4         B      E
could you pencil me in when you can
         F#m7                 Asus4       C#m
though we both know that the worst part about it  
           Asus4            F#            Asus4    B

E      F#m7          Asus4    B
I am the man on the side  
E      F#m7          Asus4    B
hoping you'll make up your mind  
E      F#m7           C#m           B
I am the one who will swallow his pride  
D          Asus4          E
life as the man on the side  


C                         D                     E
I fell in love with the dream that I built of you
                         Asus4
playing the part of the queen
C                    
Taking my own advice 
D
I'm giving up tonight
E                         Asus4
Good luck to you and the king
