Bb                               F
  For just this once I hope that looks don't deceive
F                              C7sus4
  I ain't got time for true confessions
Bb                   C

  I'm not much good at conversation
Bb                         F
  I never was much good at comin' on real strong
F                             C7sus4
  But if all it takes is inspiration
       Bb                C
  Then I might have just what it takes
     Bb              C       Bb

      Gm7                                Bb                  C
