verse:

Seems I'm always making resolutions,

Like ev'ry night for me is New Year's Eve.

Things they chisel on those institutions,

                    -5         
The lofty thoughts I never quite achieve;

                              +9         DM7      
Each time I'm taking bows 'cause things went well,

                  +7                    
Things go awry, and there am I saying, "I meant well."

Melody:

Call me irresponsible, call me unreliable,

DM7                    
Throw in undependable, too;

 +                 
Do my foolish al- i - bis bore you?

-5   -5                   +5
Well, I'm not too clever — I just a - dore  you.

Call me unpredictable, tell me I'm impractical —

DM7                           -5   
Rain - bows I'm inclined to pursue.

   +                  
Call me ir-re-spon-si-ble -- yes, I'm unreliable,

But it's un-de-ni-a-bly true

                       +5             
I'm ir - re - spon - sib - ly mad       for you.

Last time:

                       +5          +5  
I'm ir - re - spon - sib - ly mad       for you.
