Why can't I lay low[C/F]
Why can't I say what I [C/F]mean
Why don't I stay h[C/F]ome
And get myself into some [C/F]boring routine
Why can't I calm down
Why is it always a fight
I can't get unwound
Why do I throw myself into the night
(G7 F13) x 3
I'm on the outside[C/F]
I don't fit into the [C/F]groove
Now I ain't a bad guy[C/F]
So tell me what am I [C/F]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
I cruise from Houston to [Dmaj7/2+]canal street
A misfit and a rebel
I see the winds talking to them[Dmaj7/2+]selves
And I can understand[Em7/4-]
Why is it every time I go out
I always seem to get in trouble
I guess I made an impression on [Am/D]somebody
North of Hester and south of grand
(G7 F13) x 3
And so in my small [C/F]way
I'm a big man on Mulberry [C/F]street
I don't mean all da[C/F]y
Only at night when I'm [C/F]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

[Dmaj7/2+] [Em7/4-]
[Am/D]
(G7 F13) x 4
But you know in my own he[C/F]art
I'm a big man on Mulberry [C/F]street
I play the whole [C/F]part
I leave a big tip with [C/F]every receipt
I'm so romantic
I'm such a passionate man
Sometimes I panic
What if nobody finds out who I am
