Intro
[E] [C#m] [E] [C#m]
Verse
[E]You never asked me [C#m]what I wanted. You [E]only asked me [C#m]why.
I [E]never thought that [C#m]so much trouble was a [E]restin' on [B]my [E]reply,[F#m]
[G#m]I could [A]say it was the nights when [E]I was lonely
and [A]you were the only one who'd [C#m]come.
I could [A]tell you that I like your [E]sensitivity,
when [F#]you know it's the way that you [B]walk.
Chorus
[A]Why do you have to say that there's [E]always someone
who can [A]do it better than I [E]can?
But [A]don't you think that I know that [E]walking on the water
won't [B]make me a miracle [B][B][B][B]man?[B][B][B]
Verse
[E]Baby's gotta have the [C#m]things she wants.
You know she's [E]gotta have the things she [C#m]loves.
She's got a [E]ten-inch bamboo [C#m]cigarette holder
and her [E]black patent [B]leather [E]gloves.[F#m]
[G#m]And I'm [A]doing everything just [E]tryin' to please her,
even [A]crawling around on all [C#m]fours.
Oh, I [A]thought by now that it was [E]gonna be easy,
but she [F#]still seems to want for [B]more.
Chorus
[A]Why do you have to say that there's [E]always someone
who can [A]do it better than I [E]can?
But [A]don't you think that I know that [E]walking on the water
won't [B]make me a miracle [B][B][B][B]man?[B][B][B]
Interlude

Verse
[E]Yeah they're givin' you a [C#m]bad reputation
just [E]because you've never been [C#m]denied.
[E]You try to say you've done it [C#m]all before.
Baby, you [E]know that you [B]just get [E]tired.[F#m]
[G#m]Yet [A]everybody loves you [E]so much, girl.
I just [A]don't know how you stand the [C#m]strain.
Oh, but [A]I'm the one who's [E]here tonight
and I don't [F#]wanna do it all in [B]vain.
Chorus
[A]Why do you have to say that there's [E]always someone
who can [A]do it better than I [E]can?
But [A]don't you think that I know that [E]walking on the water
won't [B]make me a miracle man? [B] [B] [B] [B] [B] [B]Ah[B]
