Dm      Dmmaj7  Dm7   G7
Every - body's  got a thing,
    Cm         F9          Bbmaj7 Aaug/Eb
But some don't know how to handle it,
Dm     Dmmaj7   Dm7    G7
Always reaching out in vain,
     Cm         F9               Bbmaj7  Aaug/Eb
Just taking the things not worth hav-----ing!

N.C.                        F
But don't you worry about a thing,
F7                          Am     Fmaj7/A  Bbmaj7
    Don't you worry about a thing, mama,
               G7              Bb/C                   Fmaj7  Aaug/Eb

And that you must go other pla--------ces,
     Dm  Dmmaj7    Dm7           G7
But just don't you feel too bad,
     Cm      F9        Bbmaj7       Aaug/Eb
When you get fooled by smiling fa---ces!
