Miracle Man by Elvis Costello

E C#m E C#m

E C#m E

You never asked me what I wanted. You only asked me why.

C#m E C#m E B E

I never thought that so much trouble was a restin' on my reply,

A E

I could say it was the nights when I was lonely

A C#m

and you were the only one who'd come.

A E

I could tell you that I like your sensitivity,

F# B

when you know it's the way that you walk.

A E

Why do you have to say that there's always someone

A E

who can do it better than I can?

A E

But don't you think that I know that walking on the water

B n.c. B B B B B

won't make me a miracle man?

E C#m

Baby's gotta have the things she wants.

E C#m

You know she's gotta have the things she loves.

E C#m

She's got a ten-inch bamboo cigarette holder

E B E

and her black patent leather gloves.

A E

And I'm doing everything just tryin' to please her,

A C#m

even crawling around on all fours.

A E

Oh, I thought by now that it was gonna be easy,

F# B

but she still seems to want for more.

(chorus)

E C#m E

Yeah they're givin' you a bad reputation just because you've never

been

C#m E C#m E

denied. You try to say you've done it all before. Baby, you know

that you

B E A E

just get tired. Yet everybody loves you so much, girl.

A C#m A

E

I just don't know how you stand the strain. Oh, but I'm the one who's

here

F# B

tonight, and I don't wanna do it all in vain.

(chorus)
