[Intro]
D/F# Dm/F (x6)
[Verse]
D/F# Dm/F
I could make a dress
D/F# Dm/F
A robe fit for a prince
D/F# Dm/F
I could clothe a continent
D/F# Dm/F
But i can't sew a stitch
D/F# Dm/F
I can paint my face
D/F# Dm/F
And stand very very still
D/F# Dm/F
Its not very practical
C G
But it still pays the bills
D/F# Dm/F
I can't change my name
D/F# Dm/F
But i could be your type
D/F# Dm/F
I can dance and win at games
C G
Like backgammon and life
[Chorus]
D C G
I used to be the smart one, sharp as a tack
D C G
Funny how that skipping years ahead has held me back
D C G
I used to be the bright one, top in my class
D C G
Funny what they give you when you just learn how to ask
[Verse]
D/F# Dm/F
I can write a song
D/F# Dm/F
But i cant sing in key
D/F# Dm/F
I can play piano
D/F# Dm/F
But i never learned to read
D/F# Dm/F
I can't trap a mouse
D/F# Dm/F
But i can pet a cat
D/F# Dm/F
No i'm really serious!
C G
I'm really very good at that
D/F# Dm/F
I can't fix a car
D/F# Dm/F
But i can fix a flat
D/F# Dm/F
I could fix alot of things
C G
But i'd rather not get into that
[Chorus]
D C G
I used to be the bright one, smart as a whip
D C G
Funny how you slip so far when teachers dont keep track of it
D C G
I used to be the tight one, the perfect fit
D C G
Funny how those compliments can make you feel so full of it
D C G7
D C G7
[Verse]
D/F# Dm/F
I can shuffle cut and deal
D/F# Dm/F
But i can't draw a hand
D/F# Dm/F
I can't draw a lot of things
D/F# Dm/F
I hope you understand
D/F# Dm/F
I'm not exceptionally shy
D/F# Dm/F
But i've never had a man
D/F# Dm/F
That i could look straight in the eye
C G
And tell my secret plans
D/F# Dm/F
I can take a vow
D/F# Dm/F
And i can wear a ring
D/F# Dm/F
And i can make you promises but
C G
They won't mean a thing
[Chorus]
D C G
Can't you just do it for me, i'll pay you well
D C G G7
Fuck i'll pay you anything if you could end this
D C G
Can't you just fix it for me, it's gone berserk
D C G G7 D
Fuck i'll give you anything if you can make the damn thing work
D C G G7
Can't you just fix it for me, ill pay you well,
D C G G7
Fuck ill pay you anything, if you can end this
D C G
Hello, i love you will you tell me your name?
D C G G7 D
Hello, i'm good for nothing - will you love me just the same?
C G G7
D C G G7
D C G G7
... the same
D C G7
