 Everybody's got a thing 
    C#m7       F#7         Bmaj7      A#7(#5) 
 But some don't know how to handle it 
 D#m    D#m(#7)  D#m7   G#7 
 Always reachin' out in vain 
    C#m7       F#7         Bmaj7      A#7(#5) 
 Just taking the things not worth having 


                            F#    F#7 
 But don't you worry 'bout a thing 
                        A#m7 
 Don't you worry 'bout a thing mama 
 Bmaj7         G#7             C#11

    C#m7        F#7         Bmaj7     A#7(#5) 
 And that you must go other places 
    D#m  D#m(#7)   D#m7     G#7 
 But just don't you feel too bad 
     C#m7    F#7         Bmaj7        A#7(#5) 
 When you get fooled by smiling faces 


                            F#    F#7

 The changes you take yourself through
