G
I gave my heart
I gave my love
           C
Oh ho, my darling
       G
I am true
           D7
Doin' the best
            G
The best I can
              D7              G
But it's not good enough for you

I tried so hard so hard to please
Oh ho, my darling what more can I do
Doin' the best, the best I can
But it's not good enough for you

Chorus:
     G7
You know I was the kind who'd run
C
Any time you'd call
   A7
I guess I was the only one
     D7
Who didn't mind at all

I'll be a dreamer, I'll be a fool
Oh ho, my darling my whole life through
Doin' the best, the best I can
But it's not good enough for you

Chorus:
You know I was the kind who'd run
Any time you'd call
I guess I was the only one
Who didn't mind at all

I'll be a dreamer, I'll be a fool
Oh ho, my darling my whole life through
Doin' the best, the best I can
But it's not good enough for you
But it's not good enough for you
