[Verse]
E                  C#m                 E            C#m
You never asked me what I wanted. You only asked me why.
  E                  C#m                    E          B     E  F#m
I never thought that so much trouble was a restin' on my reply,
G#m      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.

[Chorus]
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 B B B B B B
won't make me a miracle man?

[Verse]
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    F#m
and her black patent leather gloves.
G#m      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.

[Chorus]
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 B B B B B B
won't make me a miracle man?

[Interlude]
E   C#m   E   C#m

[Verse]
E                         C#m
Yeah they're givin' you a bad reputation
        E                         C#m
just because you've never been denied.
 E                             C#m
 You try to say you've done it all before.
            E            B        E    F#m
Baby, you know that you just get tired.
G#m  A                   E
Yet everybody loves you so much, girl.
        A                             C#m
I just don't know how you stand the strain.
        A                  E
Oh, but I'm the one who's here tonight
             F#                 B
and I don't wanna do it all in vain.

[Chorus]
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 B B B B B B
won't make me a miracle man?           Ah

[Outro]
E    C#m               E             C#m
yeah
E    C#m               E             C#m
                                          A miracle
E    C#m               E             C#m
man          A miracle man                A miracle
E    C#m               E             C#m
man          A miracle man                A miracle
E    C#m               E             C#m             E
man          A miracle man                A miracle man
