Verse:
          G#                              C#
The way I see it he said, you just canʼt win it,
            B                                              F#
Everybodyʼs in it for their own gain; you canʼt please ʼem all,
               E                       G#
Thereʼs always somebody putting you down,
                           C#
I do my best and I do good business,
                        B
Thereʼs a lot of people asking for my time,
                          F#
Theyʼre tryinʼ to get ahead;
                  E                   G#
theyʼre tryinʼ to be a good friend of   mine,

Chorus:
        E
I was a free man in Paris,
       F#
I felt unfettered and alive,
B                  G#sus4
There was nobody callinʼ me up for favours
            G#
and no-ones future to decide,
             E
You know Iʼd go back there tomorrow
            F#                   B
but for the work Iʼve taken on,
            G#sus4          C#                G#
stokinʼ the star maker machinary behind the popular songs.

Verse:
          G#                        C#
I deal in dreamers and telephone screamers,
         B                                    F#
Lately I wonder what I do it for; if I had my way,
         E                                G#
Iʼd just walk through those doors, and wan-der,
                  C#
down the Champs Elysees;
              B
going cafe to cabaret, thinking
                         F#
how Iʼd feel when I find,
     E                   G#
that very good friend of   mine

Chorus.
