[Intro]
Elphie
Now that we're friends,
I've decided to make you my new project
Oh, you really don't have to do that
I know!
That's what makes me so nice

[Verse 1]
    Am     D                G              C
Whenever I see someone less fortunate than I
          Am
And let's face it,
      D               G              F
right? Who isn't less fortunate than I?
   Eb           Db                C
My tender heart tends to start to bleed
         Am              D
And when someone needs a makeover,
  G              C
I simply have to take over
  Ab            Bb               Gsus4 G
I know, I know exactly what they need 
    Gm           C
And even in your case
                Am                 D
Though it's the toughest case I've yet to face
      Gm           Eb             C
Don't worry, I'm determined to succeed
   Bb    C    Gsus4
Follow my lead
        G  C
And yes, indeed
Bb  Am   G
You will be, ah
