Intro
[F#m] [G] [Gmaj7]
Verse 1
[Dmaj7/A] Hey, who's that stompin' all [G]over my face?[Gmaj7]
[Dmaj7/A] Where's that silhouette I'm [G]trying to trace?[Gmaj7]
[Dmaj7/A] Who's puttin' sponge in the [G]bells I once rung?[Gmaj7]
[Dmaj7/A] And taken my gypsy [G]before she's begun[Gmaj7]
To [Bm]sing in the meaning of [Em]what's in my mind
[Bm]Before I can take home what's [Em]rightfully mine
[Bm]Joining and a-listening and [Em]talking in rhymes
[Bm]Stopping the feeling to [Em]wait for the time
Chorus
[G]Who's saying baby, that [A]don't mean a thing?
'Cause [Bm]nowadays [D]Clancy [Em]can't[Em/G] [F#m] even [Bm]sing

Verse 2
[Dmaj7/A] And who's all hung up on that [G]happiness thing?[Gmaj7]
[Dmaj7/A] Who's tryin' to tune all the [G]bells that he rings?[Gmaj7]
[Dmaj7/A] And who's in the corner and [G]down on the floor[Gmaj7]
[Dmaj7/A] With pencil and paper just [G]countin' the score?[Gmaj7]
And [Bm]who's gonna act like he's [Em]just in between
The [Bm]line isn't black if you [Em]know that it's green
[Bm]Don't bother looking, you're [Em]too blind to see
[Bm]Who's coming on like he [Em]wanted to be
Chorus

Verse 3
[Dmaj7/A] And who's coming home on old [G]ninety-five?[Gmaj7]
[Dmaj7/A] Who's got the feeling, yeah, to [G]keep him alive[Gmaj7]
[Dmaj7/A] Though having it, sharing it [G]ain't quite the same[Gmaj7]
[Dmaj7/A] To paint a golden nugget, you [G]can't lay a claim[Gmaj7]
[Bm]Who's seeing eyes through the [Em]crack in the floor?
[Bm]There it is, baby, don't you [Em]worry no more
[Bm]Who should be sleeping but's [Em]a-writin' this song?
[Bm]Wishing and a-hoping he [Em]weren't so damned wrong
Chorus
