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]
      /  /  /  /   /  /  /  /

Verse 1:

      Bbmaj9   F7M                        [ Bbmaj9 : D - F - A - C ]
      No catch, no strings                  [ F7M : E - F - A - C ]
      Bbmaj9      F7M
      None of the usual things
          Eb7M        Cm7 Cm7/F Bb7M      [ Eb7M : D - Eb - G - Bb ]
      I'm happy just to lay  and  look
                  Em7 A6  Dm9                  [ Dm9 : A - C - E - F ]
      Let's throw out the book
               G6/9  G  Gm7                  [ G6/9 : B - E - A ]
      Now we're off the hook
                      E   E7
      And please just be

Chorus 1:

      F7M  Am7   Gm9     E     E7
            Nice to me    won't you
      F7M 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:

      F7M  Am7    Gm9   C
             Nice to me
                   Bbmaj9    Am7
      And would it bring you down
           Gm7   Gm7/C
      If I hang around   and just
      F7M 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

      F7M  Am7   Gm9   C
          Be  nice to me
                   Bb        F/A          Gm7     Gm7/C
