Intro (x6): D Dm

Verse:
D              Dm 
I could make a dress
  D              Dm 
a robe fit for a prince
D                Dm 
I could clothe a continent
    D             Dm 
But i can't sew a stitch


D              Dm 
I can paint my face
    D               Dm 
And stand very very still
D            Dm 
Its not very practical
       C              G
But it still pays the bills


D                 Dm 
I can't change my name
    D               Dm 
But i could be your type
D               Dm 
I can dance and win at games
     C              G
Like backgammon and life

Chorus:
D           C                G
  I used to be the smart one, sharp as a tack
D              C                   G
Funny how that skipping years ahead has held me back
D           C                 G
  I used to be the bright one, top in my class
D               C                 G
Funny what they give you when you just learn how to ask

Verse:
D             Dm 
I can write a song
    D              Dm 
But i cant sing in key
D            Dm 
I can play piano
      D                Dm 
But i never learned to read


D              Dm 
I can't trap a mouse
    D           Dm 
But i can pet a cat
D             Dm 
No i'm really serious!
    C           G
I'm really very good at that


D             Dm 
I can't fix a car
    D           Dm 
But i can fix a flat
D            Dm 
I could fix alot of things
        C              G
But i'd rather not get into that

Chorus:
D           C                 G
  I used to be the bright one, smart as a whip
D             C                G
Funny how you slip so far when teachers dont keep track of it
D           C                G
  I used to be the tight one, the perfect fit
D               C               G
Funny how those compliments can make you feel so full of it

Interlude (x2): D C G7

Verse:
      D               Dm 
I can shuffle cut and deal
    D              Dm 
But i can't draw a hand
D                  Dm 
    I can't draw a lot of things
  D              Dm 
I hope you understand
        D             Dm 
I'm not exceptionally shy
         D           Dm 
But i've never had a man
     D                     Dm 
That i could look straight in the eye
    C              G
And tell my secret plans


D            Dm 
I can take a vow
    D            Dm 
And i can wear a ring
    D              Dm 
And i can make you promises but
C          G
They won't mean a thing

Chorus:
D                C            G
  Can't you just do it for me, i'll pay you well
D                 C           G         G7
xxxx i'll pay you anything if you could end this
D                C             G
  Can't you just fix it for me, it's gone berserk
D                  C           G                G7         D
