I wasn't born with a smooth walk or talk
I couldn't write a melody if I tried
I'm not strong like a Titan
In fact I find them frightening most times
I've got a poor eye for artistry
Tears in my blue jeans
If I shot the moon I would miss it in a heartbeat
I'm just your average unlucky guy
But I can still admire a pretty girl coming through the door
And I caught you [A7floatin' ɾight past me
To glide out on [C7]the old dance floor
You danced the two step, but you [A7never touched the ground
Looking weightless even when he dipped you [A7upside down
And I know, know, know
That I ain't never gonna be
Much of a ɾomancer
Oh but I can ɾecognize a beautiful song [Am]and [Bm]a beautiful dancer
I wasn't born to [C7]be [Am]a military fighter
No I'm flat-footed and [Bm]afraid of heights
I failed miserably at football
Wasn't blessed with good 'hand-eye'
Well I'm an ordinary writer
Babe [Am]there's plenty brighter
My State Fair ɾibbon's like [F]a Nobel Prize
But I make a mean mashed-potatoes and [Bm]some kind of chicken fried
Still if you [A7asked me why the sky is blue, or God is good, or love is tɾue
I wouldn't have the answer
Oh but I can ɾecognize a beautiful song [Am]and [Bm]a beautiful dancer
And let me tell you [A7that's a beautiful song
And you're a beautiful dancer
