Well could I have been, a par-king lot a-tten-dant?

-5 -5 -5 +6 +5*, +1* +5* +5* +5* +5* +5* -4
could I have be-en, a mil-llion-are in Bel-Air?

-5 -5 -5 +5*, -3 -3 -2* -2* +3 +3
could I have been, lost some-where in Pa-ris?

-5 -5 -5 +6 +5*, -2* +5* +5 +5* -5
could I have be-en, your lit-tle bro-ther?

-5 -5 -5 +5* , -2* -3 -3 -3 -3 -3 +3
could I have been, any- one other than me?

-5 -5 -5 +6 +5* +5* -4, +5* +5* +5* +5* +5* +5* -5
could I have been oh, anyone other than me?

-5 -5 -5 +5* -3 -3 -3 -3 -3 -3 +3
could I have been, anyone other than me?

-5 +5* -5 +6 +5* +5* -4 +5*
could I have been, an-y-one?

* * *

-5 +6 +5* -5 -4 -4 -3* -3* -4
he stands, touch his hair, his shoes un-tied

-5 -5 -5 +5*
tongue gap-ing, stare

-6* +6 -5 +5* -4 -4 -4 -4 -4 -3*
could I have been a mag-net for mo-ney

-6* +6 -5 +5* +5* +5* +5* +5* +5* +5* -3* -3*
could I have been anyone other than me

-5 -6* +5* -5 -4 +5* -3* -4
twenty-tree and so tired of life

-4 -3 -4 -3 -4 -4 -4 -4 -3* -2*
such a shame to throw it all away

-2* -6* +6 -5 +5* +5* +5* -4 -3*
the i-ma-ges grow darker still

-6* +6 -5 +5* +5* +5* +5* +5* +5* +5* -3* -3*
could I have been anyone other than me

* * *

-3* -3* -4
And then I

+5* +5* +5* +5* -3
look up at the sky

-3 -3 +6 -3 -4 +5* -3
my mouth is open wide

-4 -4 -4 -4 -4 -4 -4 -3 -3 -3
lick and taste, what's the use in wor-ry-ing

-3 -4 -4 -4 -3 -3 -3
what's the use in hurrying

-3 -2* -3 -3 -3* -3* +3* -2* +5* -4
turn, turn we almost become dizzy

* * *

-5 +6 +5* +5* -5 -4 -4 -4 -3* -4 -3 -4
I am who I am, who I am

-5 -4 -4 -3* -2*
well, who am I

-2* -6* +6 -5 +5* +5* +5* -3* -3*
requesting some enlightenment

-6* +6 -5 +5* +5* +5* +5* +5* +5* +5* -3* -3*
could I have been anyone other than me

* * *

-3* -3* -4
and then I'll

-6* -5 -5 -5 +5* -3 -3 -4 +5*
sing and dance, I'll play for you tonight

-3 -3 -4 +5* +3*
the thrill of it all

-6* -5 -5 +5 -4 -3 -4 +5*
dark clouds may hang on me sometimes

-3 -3 -4 +5* +3*
but I'll work it out

* * *

+3* +3* -3
And then I'll

-4 +5 -4 -4 -3
Look up at the sky

+5* -4 -3 +6 -3 -4 +5* -3
my mouth is open wide

-4 -4 -4 -4 -4 -4 -4 -3 -3 -3
lick and taste, what's the use in worrying

-3 -4 -4 -4 -3 -3 -3
what's the use in hurrying

-3 -2* -3 -3 -3* -3* +3* -2* +5* -4
turn, turn we almost become dizzy

* * *

-5 +6 +5* -4 -4 -4 -3* -3* -3* -4
falling out of a world of lies

-6* +6 -5 +5*
could I have been

+3 +3 +3 -2*
a dancing nancy
