Am7 D Am7 D
Am7 D Am7 D
[Verse 1]
There's a Am7madman from Manhattan
DThere with a man's hat and a floor mat made of Am7satin D
But this cat Am7was not like this or that
But that Dwhich was aptly named for a man whose Am7plan
Is a dime in a can downstairs for a Ddollar
If he can Am7win the time with a dame
He ain't Dashamed to hollerC G F Am7
[Verse 2]
Am7Catch a train with the name of an alphabet Dletter
Had the Am7brains to remain with the dame right up until he Dlet her think
She was just on the brink of a Am7breakthrough
DJust on the brink of a breakthrough
But this dime Am7in her can in the sink is enough to just Dmake you think
That it all comes down to the Am7trust that is covered in rust that you can't rеDmove
Am7Sticking around on the grounds that you know that you can't Dprove
A thing to a judgе and a Cjury G F G D

[Verse 3]
N.C.
DDAnd then of Dm7course an angel comes to him Dand sings
DShe swims under whiskey with her wings
And from the Dminside of a bottle with a Dshaft of light
DShe tells him with a song that it is not right
[Chorus]
DIt's not right, Fit's not right
It's Cnot right now, it's Dwrong
DBut he does not listen to her for long
[Verse 4]
DHe says madmen aren't born, they're cultivated
DConned by the conmen in the world the marks created
And then he Dmcons himselfD
He Dmtricks himself into thinking Dthat he is right
[Chorus]
FIt's not right, it's not right
It's Cnot right now, it's Dwrong
DBut then he forgets to put it in a song
[Interlude]
