"Be Nice To Me"
(Todd Rundgren)

Note from AWR: right-hand keyboard voicings are given where not obvious;
the 7-1-3-5 voicing of the major-7th chords is a trademark Toddism.

Intro:

Bb F/A Gm7 Gm7/C [all voiced with F on top]

Verse 1:

Bbmaj9 Fmaj7 [Bbmaj9: D-F-A-C]
No catch, no strings [Fmaj7: E-F-A-C]
[Bbmaj9]None of the [Fmaj7]usual things
Ebmaj7 Cm7 Cm7/F Bbmaj7 [Ebmaj7: D-Eb-G-Bb]
I'm happy just to lay and look
Em7 A6 Dm9 [Dm9: A-C-E-F]
Let's throw out the book
G6/9 G Gm7 [G6/9: B-E-A]
Now we're off the hook
And please just [E]be[E7]

Chorus 1:

[Fmaj7] N[Am7]ice to[Gm9] me w[E]on't y[E7]ou
[Fmaj7]Be [Am7]nice to[Gm9] me (n[A7]ice t[(Bbmaj9)]o me)

Verse 2:

So tired, so sad
So sick of being had
By everyone who comes along
Would it be so wrong
If you played along
And please just be

Chorus 2/Bridge:

[Fmaj7] [Am7]Nice to[Gm9] me[C]
And would it [Bbmaj9]bring you [Am7]down
If I [Gm7]hang a[Gm7/C]round and just
[Fmaj7]Be [Am7]nice to[Gm9] me[C]
It's been a l[Bb]ong, long [Am7]time
Since I [Gm7]felt so f[A7]ine

And[Bb] I [F/A]know your [Gm7]love is f[F]ine
[Bb] I [F/A]know what's [G]on y[G7]our m[C]ind, [G/B]but

Verse 3:

Don't laugh, don't cry
Don't make me wonder why
You're doing what you're doing now
Can't you see somehow
It's the wrong time now
So please just be

Coda:

[Fmaj7] [Am7]Nice to[Gm9] me[C]
[Bb] [F/A] [Gm7] [Gm7/C]

[Fmaj7] Be n[Am7]ice to[Gm9] me[C]
It's been a l[Bb]ong, long [F/A]time since I [Gm7]felt so [Gm7/C]fine [fade]
