Fm7     A#            Gm7          C7
I'm sentimental, so I walk in the rain
Fm7       A#         Gm7             C7
I've got some habits even I can't explain
Fm                   G#m6    Gm7        F#dim
Could start for the corner, turn up in Spain
Fm              A#7       D#maj7  Cm7
But why try to change me now?

I sit and daydream, I've got daydreams galore
Cigarette ashes, there they go on the floor
I'll go away weekends, leave my keys in the door
But why try to change me now?

Chorus:
A#m7            D#7      G#maj7
Why can't I be more conventional?
       A#m7          C#9          G#maj7
People talk, people stare, so I try
Cm7                F7  A#               Gm7
But that's not for me,  'cause I can't see
Cm7          F             G#         A#
My kind of crazy world go passing me by

So, let people wonder, let 'em laugh, let 'em frown
You know I'll love you till the moon's upside down
Don't you remember I was always your clown?
Why try to change me now?
