C           Cdim7       Dm7        G6       C      [ Gm7 C ]
I'm nothing special, in fact I'm a bit of a bore
   F                     A7                  Dm7      G Gaug
If I tell a joke, you've probably heard it before
    C                  G
But I have a talent, a wonderful thing
       C/E      Caug         F          Fm
'Cause everyone listens when I start to sing
       Am                  F/A
I'm so grateful and proud
      Dm         Dm/C        G
All I want is to sing it out loud...
G  Gsus4/A G/B
So I       say (= Link 1)

Who can live without it, I ask  in all honesty
F                 Fm
  What would life be?
          C         C/Bb            A7
Without a song or a dance, what are we?
A7 G/B A7/C#

    F               A7                       Dm7      G Gaug/B
She says I began to sing long before I could talk
    C                        G          Gaug
And I've often wondered, how did it all start?
       C           Caug        F         Fm
Who found out that nothing can capture a heart
       Am             F/A
Like a melody can? (= Pre-chorus)
      Dm           Dm/C     G
Well, whoever it was, I'm a fan
