                            "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      Fmaj7

None of the 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

                E   E7

And please just be

Chorus 1:

Fmaj7  Am7   Gm9     E     E7

      Nice to me    won't you

Fmaj7 Am7    Gm9   A7   (Bbmaj9)

Be    nice to me (nice to 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    Gm9   C

       Nice to me

             Bbmaj9    Am7

And would it bring you down

     Gm7   Gm7/C

If I hang around   and just

Fmaj7 Am7    Gm9   C

Be    nice to me

             Bb        Am7

It's been a long, long time

        Gm7      A7

Since I felt so fine

   Bb F/A       Gm7      F

And I know your love is fine

Bb F/A         G   G7   C    G/B

I know what's on your mind, 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    Gm9   C

       Nice to me

Bb   F/A    Gm7   Gm7/C

/  /  /  /   /  /  /  /

Fmaj7  Am7   Gm9   C

          Be  nice to me

             Bb        F/A          Gm7     Gm7/C

It's been a long, long time since I felt so fine   [fade]
