Handyman Blues

I'm never gonna be the handyman around the house my father was
   C        Cmaj9        Am     Am7     F        Fmaj9  D7
So don't be asking me to hang a curtain rail for you, because

Am          Am7           D7
Screwdriver business just gets me confused
Am          Am7             D7
It takes me half an hour to change a fuse
Am         Am7                    D7
And when I flicked the switch the lights all blew

I'm not your handyman

C          Cmaj9         Am     Am7        F       Fmaj9  C
Don't be expecting me to put up shelves or build a garden shed
C         Cmaj9             Am        Am7            F      Fmaj9  D7
But I can write a song that tells the world how much I love you instead
Am      Am7         D7               Am        Am7         D7
I'm not any good at pottery so let's lose the 't' and just shift back the 'e'
         Am     Am7            D7             F     Fmaj9   D7
And I'll find a way to make my poetry build a roof over our heads
Am        Am7                 D7
I know it looks like I'm just reading the paper
Am        Am7                D7
But these ideas I'll turn to gold dust later
Am          Am7          D7
Cause I'm a writer not a decorator?

I'm not your handyman
