Miracle Man Elvis Costello
Intro: E C#m E C#m
[E]You never asked me [C#m]what I wanted.[E] You only asked me why.
[C#m]I neve[E]r thought that so muc[C#m]h trouble was a resti[E]n' on my re[B]ply, [E]
I could [A]say it was the nights when I [E]was lonely
And [A]you were the only one who'd[C#m] come.
I could [A]tell you that I like your [E]sensitivity,
When [F#]you know it's the way that you w[B]alk.
Wh[A]y do you have to say that there's [E]always someone
Who can d[A]o it better than I c[E]an?
But d[A]on't you think that I know that w[E]alking on the water
B n.c. B
Won't make me a miracle man?
[E]Baby's gotta have the [C#m]things she wants.
You know she's [E]gotta have the things she loves. [C#m]
She's got a[E] ten-inch bamboo [C#m]cigarette holder
and her [E]black patent [B]leather [E]gloves.
And I'm [A]doing everything just tryin'[E] to please her,
Even [A]crawling around on all[C#m] fours.
Oh, I [A]thought by now that it was [E]gonna be easy,
But she [F#]still seems to want for [B]more.
[A]Why do you have to say that there's al[E]ways someone
Who can [A]do it better than I can? [E]
But [A]don't you think that I know that [E]walking on the water
B n.c. B
Won't make me a miracle man? Oh yeah
[E]Yeah they're givin' you a [C#m]bad reputation just be[E]cause you've never been denied.
You[C#m] try to say you[E]'ve done it all befo[C#m]re. Baby, you know tha[E]t you
[B]just get [E]tired. Yet [A]everybody loves you so[E] much, girl.
I just [A]don't know how you stand the[C#m] strain. Oh, but [A]I'm the one who's [E]here
tonight, and I don't [F#]wanna do it all in [B]vain.
[A]Why do you have to say that there's al[E]ways someone
Who can [A]do it better than I can? [E]
But [A]don't you think that I know that [E]walking on the water
B n.c. B
Won't make me a miracle man? Oh yeah
A miracle man? [B] Oh yeah
A miracle man? [B] Oh yeah
A miracle man? [B] Oh yeah
