[Intro]
G Cadd9 Am D (x6)
[Verse]
G Cadd9 Am D
Once upon a midnight dearie
G Cadd9 Am D
I woke with something in my head
G Cadd9 Am D
I couldn't escape the memory
G Cadd9 Am D
Of a phone call and of what you said
G Cadd9 Am D
Like a game show contestant with a parting gift
G C Am D
I could not believe my eyes
G Cadd9 Am D
When I saw through the voice of a trusted friend
G Cadd9 Am D
Who needs to humor me and tell me lies
G Cadd9 Am D
Yeah humor me and tell me lies
G Cadd9 Am D
And I'll lie too and say I don't mind
G Cadd9 Am D
And as we seek so shall we find
G Cadd9 Am D
And when you're feeling open I'll still be here
G Cadd9 Am D
But not without a certain degree of fear
G Cadd9 Am D
Of what will be with you and me
G Cadd9 Am D
I still can see things hopefully
[Chorus]
G Cadd9 Am D
But you
G Cadd9 Am D
Why you wanna give me a run-around
G Cadd9 Am D
Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up
G Cadd9 Am D G Cadd9 Am D
When all it does is sl - ow me down
[Verse]
G Cadd9 Am D
And shake me and my confidence
G Cadd9 Am D
About a great many things
G Cadd9 Am D
But I've been there I can see it cower
G Cadd9 Am D
Like a nervous magician waiting in the wings
G Cadd9 Am D
Of a bad play where the heroes are right
G Cadd9 Am D
And nobody thinks or expects too much
G Cadd9 Am D
And Hollywood's calling for the movie rights
G Cadd9 Am D
Singing hey babe let's keep in touch
G Cadd9 Am D
Hey baby let's keep in touch
G Cadd9 Am D
But I want more than a touch I want you to reach me
G Cadd9 Am D
And show me all the things no one else can be
G Cadd9 Am D
So what you feel becomes mine as well
G Cadd9 Am D
And soon if we're lucky we'd be unable to tell
G Cadd9 Am D
What's yours and mine the finshings fine
G Cadd9 Am D
And it doesn't have to rhyme so don't feed me a line
[Chorus]
G Cadd9 Am D
But you
G Cadd9 Am D
Why you wanna give me a run-around
G Cadd9 Am D
Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up
G Cadd9 Am D G Cadd9 Am D
When all it does is sl - ow me down

{Verse]
G Cadd9 Am D
Tra la la la la bomba dear this is the pilot speaking
G Cadd9 Am D
And I've got some news for you
G Cadd9 Am D
It seems my ship still stands no matter what you drop
G Cadd9 Am D
And there ain't a whole lot that you can do
G Cadd9 Am D
Oh sure the banner may be torn and wind's gotten colder
G Cadd9 Am D
Perhaps I've grown a little cynical
G Cadd9 Am D
But I know no matter what the waitress brings
G Cadd9 Am D
I shall drink it and always be full
G Cadd9 Am D
Yeah I will drink it and always be full
G Cadd9 Am D
Oh I like coffee, and I like tea
G Cadd9 Am D
I'd like to be able to enter a final plea
G Cadd9 Am D
I still got this dream that you just can't shake
G Cadd9 Am D
I love you to the point you can no longer take
G Cadd9 Am D
Well all right, okay, so be that way
G Cadd9 Am D
I hope and pray that there's something left to say
[Chorus]
G Cadd9 Am D
But you
G Cadd9 Am D
Why you wanna give me a run-around
G Cadd9 Am D
Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up
G Cadd9 Am D
When all it does is slow me down
G Cadd9 Am D
But you
G Cadd9 Am D
Why you wanna give me a run-around
G Cadd9 Am D
Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up
G Cadd9 Am D G Cadd9 Am D
When all it does is sl - ow me down
[Instrumental]
