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
F Fmaj9 C
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?
F Fmaj9 C
I'm not your handyman
