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

But don't you think that I know that walking on the water
B n.c. B
Won't make me a miracle man? Oh yeah
