G7 A#maj7 C/F Why can't I lay low? G7 A#maj7 C/F Why can't I say what I mean? G7 A#maj7 C/F Why don't I stay home? G7 A#maj7 C/F Em7 And get myself into some boring routine Em7 A Bm7 Why can't I calm down? Em7 A Bm7 Why is it always a fight? Em7 A Bm7 I can't get unwound Em7 Am Cmaj7/D G7 Why do I throw myself into the night? I'm on the outside I don't fit into a groove Now, I ain't a bad guy So tell me what am I trying to prove? Why can't I cool out? Why don't I button my lip? Why do I lash out? Why is it I always shoot from the hip? Dm7 A+/C# I cruise from Houston to canal street Dm7/C Bm7-5 A misfit and a rebel Dm7 A+/C# I see the winos talking to themselves Dm7/C Bdim E7 And I can understand Am7 Am/G# Why is it every time I go out Am7/G D9/F# I always seem to get in trouble Am7 Am/D I guess I made an impression on somebody G7 North of Hester and South of Grand And so in my small way I'm a big man on Mulberry Street I don't mean always Only at night when I'm light on my feet What else have I got That I'd be trying to hide? Maybe a blind spot I haven't seen from the sensitive side? But you know in my own heart I'm a big man on Mulberry Street I've play the whole part I'll leave a big tip with every receipt I'm so romantic I'm such a passionate man Sometimes I panic What if nobody finds out who I am?
