5   5  -4   4   -4  5  6  6  5  
Ev'rywhere you walk I always go 
 4   5  5   -4  4  -4   5    -6   -6  -6 6 -5
I'm always giveing you the things you know--- 
 6    6  5     5    5   -5  -5  5    -4  4   5  -4  
Just say so 'cause you gave me that feeling inside
 5 -5  6   5  6   5  -4 4  
But I know I must be right 
 -4   5  -5 5 -4 -5  -4  -4 4
It's the sing-er not the song 

 4    5   5  -4   4   -4  5   6  6  5

Others do it without thrilling me----- 
 6   6  5   5    -5   5  -4 4 4   4  -4
kissing me that same old feeling inside 
 5 -5  6   5  6   5  -4 4
But I know I must be right 
 -4   5  -5 5 -4 -5  -4  -4 4
It's the sing-er not the song  

The same old places and the same old songs 
We've been going there for much too long 
There's something wrong and it gives me that feeling 
inside that I know I must be right 
It's the singer not the song 
It's the singer not the song 
It's the singer not the song
