Intro: E DAE  D  A E


         E
No matter what I do I can’t make you happy
                                Bm       A   E
Though I go to great lengths to do your will
    A                                  E
If you say hurry girl I make it snappy 
 F#                                    B  
Trying hard to keep your wishes filled
               E
But I'm getting tired and feeling real discouraged
         A                                  E
>From being pressured underneath your thumb
       C#m                                  A
So here's a message you can give your mama
               E                    B       E  
Starting now I'm looking out for number one


Chorus:
         A
Lord everyone around me I've tried so hard to please
            E  
Till the only one unhappy feeling broken down is me
        C#m                                    A
But things are gonna change with each new setting sun
              E                    B         E
Starting now I'm looking out for number one
        E
It's getting hard to face my morning mirror
                                         Bm    A  E
There's a stranger in there staring back at me


      A                                   E
He tells me everyday it's getting clearer 
F#                                   B
Son your not the man you used to be
                E
Yeah it's time to get this monkey off my shoulder
               A                                       E
And quit worrying about the things that you want done
         C#m                                      A
I'm gonna start the fire that you have smoldered
                       E                      B   E
Cause starting now I'm looking out for number one

repeat chorus:
                       E                 B         E  
Yeah starting now I'm looking out for number one
