They call me Mr. Pitiful; baby  that's my name now  
                                              G7 
They call me Mr. Pitiful; that's how I got my fame. 
                      C7                               F7 
But people just don't understand how a man can feel so blue  
                 C7        G7                           C7 
They call me Mr. Pitiful  'cos I lost someone just like you.

                                             G7

                    C7                                         F7 
But nobody seems to understand  now  how can a man sing such a sad song  
        G7                      C7 
When he lost everything that he had.

G7                                C7                 (n.C) 
 How can I tell you about my past if all things won't end?

Can I explain to you... 

C7 
 Everything is going wrong; I've lost everything I had. 
I have to sing this sad song to get back to her. 
And I'm gonna sing this song to you; 
And I want you  and I want you  and I want you  and I want you. 
And I wanna tell you everything is going through my mind  
And I want to sing  and I want to sing  
And I want to sing  and I want to sing this song with you  
And I wanna sing this song to everyone. 
'Cos I want them to understand what I talkin' about  
I want you to understand  what I'm sayin'...
