verse 1 
E 
You never asked me what I wanted, you only asked me why 
                                              B     E 
I never thought that so much trouble rested on my reply 

Pre-Chorus 
       A                           E 
I could tell it was the nights when I was lonely 
    A                           C#m 
That you were the only one who'd talk 
       A                          E 
I could tell you that I liked your sensitivity 
   F#                        B 
But you know it's the way you walk 


[Refrão]
Chorus 
A                             E 
Why do you have to say 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 water 
     B 
Won't make me a miracle man? 

verse 2 
E                     C#m 
Baby's got to 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 

Pre-Chorus 
       A                     E 
And I'm doing everything just trying to please her 
    A                      C#m 
Even crawling 'round 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 


[Refrão]
Chorus 
A                             E 
Why do you have to say 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 water 
     B 
Won't make me a miracle man?

verse 3 
E               C#m 
Never give you a bad reputation 
       E                     C#m 
Just because you never been denied 
      E                            C#m 
You're trying to say you've done it all before, babe 
   E             B        E 
You know that you just get tired 

Pre-Chorus 
   A                   E 
Yet everybody loves you so much, girl 
      A                            C#m 
I just don't know how you stand the strain 
   A                 E 
Oh, I'm the one who's here tonight 
           F#                 B 
And I don't wanna do it all in vain 


[Refrão]
Chorus 
A                             E 
Why do you have to say there's always someone

Who can do it better than I can? 
   A                                E 
But don't you think that I know that walking on water 
     B 
Won't make me a miracle man?
