(Larry Tamblyn)
Intro:
(w/fuzz guitar [2X]):
Em G A Dsus4 D
/ / / / / / / /
Verse 1:
Em G A Dsus4 D Em G A Dsus4 D
Try so very hard to take my baby
Em G A Dsus4 D G B
Try so very hard to take my love
Em A
So Mr. Nobody, you see
G Bm/F# Em
You can't creep up on me
C Em/B Am C/G Dsus4 D [3: N.C.]
And take away the girl that I'm to marry
Verse 2:
Take away my house and all my money
But never try to take my love from me
So Mr. Nobody, you're lost
With her I am the boss
You're not the one with whom she has an interest
[fuzz guitar and organ solos over verse chords]
Verse 3:
So you can thank your lucky stars that I have told you
You better realize that this boy ain't no fool
So you can take your fancy car
And drive away real far
The world is full of nobodies like you are
Coda [repeat to fade]:
Em G A Dsus4 D (Em)
Mr. Nobody is who you are
