Starship - The Way I Do

[Tootsie]
          C
When they say you can’t love,
Am                    Em
I think you’ve got it wrong.
        Fmaj7
And they say you can’t feel
       Dm7
With a heart made of steel
        G
But you can’t say that steel ain’t strong.
        C
Well if that’s who you are
       Am                      Em
Just a meaningless star in the sky
        F
Tell me what is the meaning
   Dm
Of what I am feeling
   G
If you are the reason why.
    E        Am
Now I may be dumb
                 C7
But where I come from,
                  F
Folks say they’re fine when I know
             Fm     C
That they’re blue
              Dm
But you don’t know you
    Fm    C
The way I do.

Bb           Eb
Your kind is frail and weak
      Cm                  Gm
And I want to destroy you all.
         Ab
You’re a sorry disgrace
       Fm
To the concept of race,
       Eb                  Bb
And to logical science and law.
        Eb
But for some reason why
         Cm                 Gm
When you look at me I don’t wanna be
Ab
Programmed this way
  Fm
Believe when I say
           Bb
You’re the one anomaly.
    G            Cm
You might not be smart
               Eb7
But there is a part of me
       Ab                      Abm
That’s starting to make a breakthrough.
   Eb        Gm
No you don’t know you
    Abm   Eb
The way I do.

  Gb                                            Eb
I never expected                             to find someone like you
                (My wires are protected from abnormal things like you)
          Gbmaj7                                           Eb
                          I don’t know anything but you’re giving me a clue
(When you know everything it is suddenly strange, when you don’t have a clue)

[Both]
          Cm       Gm
I can see past the surface
Fm                        Ab       Bb
Finding the worth that is hiding beneath
     Cm       Gm
Your life and purpose
    Ab                F
And all of a sudden I feel like I’ve run into
Bb                        G
Something that no one has seen.

E       A
 You’re perfect and wonderful
F#m               C#m
How I hoped you’d be (February I)
         Dmaj7
But it’s really enough for
Bm7
You to be just
  E
A human being (there’s something I need to tell you)
      A                 Gbm
And I know you’ll agree that’s all we need to make
C#m
All our dreams come true (But I need to…)
        D                      Bm
If this life has an ending I’m glad that I’m spending
                               (…say…)
     E                      C#7
This short little time with you
     (…some-thing to you)

[February and Bug (Tootsie and Megagirl)]
            F#m                A7
I’m so much more than what you thought before
                     (So much more than…)
D                       G
Now that we have gotten to
(What you thought you knew)

[February (Tootsie and Megagirl)]
       Bm7
Get to know you (You don’t know you)

[Bug]
              Dm
But you don’t know me

[All]
