F |G
She looked me over
And I guess she thought
|C
I was all right
F |G
All right in a sort of a limited way
|C
For an off-night
F |G
She said don't I know you
|C
From the cinematographer's party?
F |G
I said who am I
|C
To blow against the wind?
F |G
I know what I know
|C
I'll sing what I said
F |G
We come and we go
That's a thing that I keep
|C
In the back of my head
F |G
I know what I know
|C
I'll sing what I said
F |G
We come and we go
That's a thing that I keep
|C F|G |C F|G |C
In the back of my head

She said there's something about you
|C
That really reminds me of money
F |G
She was the kind of a girl
Who could say things that
|C
Weren't that funny

She said who am I
|C
To blow against the wind?
