[Intro]
G7   F13    G7   F13
G7   F13    G7   F13
[Verse 1]
G7           Bbmaj7 C/F
   Why can't I lay low?
G7           Bbmaj7       C/F
   Why can't I say what I mean?
G7           Bbmaj7 C/F
   Why don't I stay home?
G7              Bbmaj7      C/F       Em7
   And get myself into some boring routine
Em7             A    Bm7
   Why can't I calm down?
Em7           A        Bm7
   Why is it always a fight?
Em7            A  Bm7
   I can't get unwound
Em7         Am          Cmaj7/D    G7
   Why do I throw myself into the night?
[Interlude]
G7   F13   G7  F13   G7  F13   G7  F13
[Verse 2]
G7          Bbmaj7 C/F
  I'm on the out   side
G7           Bbmaj7   C/F
  I don't fit into a groove
G7             Bbmaj7 C/F
  Now I ain't a bad  guy
G7          Bbmaj7     C/F       Em7
  So tell me what am I trying to prove?
Em7            A    Bm7
  Why can't I cool out?
Em7            A        Bm7
  Why don't I button my lip?
Em7         A   Bm7
  Why do I lash out?
Em7     Am                     Dm7
         N.C.                  
  Why is it I always shoot from the hip?
[Bridge]
Dm7                        Aaug/C#
I cruise from Houston to canal   street
    Dm7/C             Bm7b5
A misfit and a rebel
Dm7                              Aaug/C#
  I see the winos talking to themselves
      Dm7/C          Bdim  E7#9
And I can understand
Am7                        Am/G#
  Why is it every time I go out
                         Am7/G    D9/F#
I always seem to get in trouble
Am7                             Am/D
 N.C.                             N.C.
  I guess I made an impression on somebody
                               G7
North of Hester and South of Grand
[Interlude]
G7   F13   G7  F13   G7  F13   G7  F13
[Verse 3]
G7            Bbmaj7  C/F
  And so in my small  way
G7                 Bbmaj7   C/F
  I'm a big man on Mulberry street
G7           Bbmaj7 C/F
  I don't mean all  day
G7       Bbmaj7          C/F         Em7
  Only at night when I'm light on my feet
Em7              A  Bm7
  What else have I got?
Em7           A         Bm7
  That I'd be trying to hide?
Em7       A     Bm7
  Maybe a blind spot
Em7      Am7                   Dm7
           N.C.                
  I haven't seen from the sensitive side?

G7                 Bbmaj7 C/F
  But you know in my own  heart
G7                Bbmaj7    C/F
  I'm a big man on Mulberry street
G7           Bbmaj7 C/F
  I play the whole  part
G7         Bbmaj7        C/F     Em7
  I leave a big tip with every receipt
Em7        A  Bm7
  I'm so romantic
Em7          A          Bm7
  I'm such a passionate man
Em7           A Bm7
  Sometimes I panic
Em7         Am        Cmaj7/D    G7
  What if nobody finds out who I am?
