[G]I don't know why they come her[F]e
[G]I'm only glad they do[Ab]
[Bb]They're gonna pay the bills
for [F]me and [G]you[F][G]
People out for an [F]evening
[G]They have a real good tim[Ab]e
[Bb]But when I play I feel just
[F]like [G]I'm [F]miming
[G]I made a stand for the[F] music
[G]To turn the page with eas[Ab]e
[Bb]I got the smile that says
I'm [F]here to [G]please[F]

are dirty [F]to confuse
