Introduction: G C9 Am D
G C9 Am D
Once upon a midnight dearie
G C9 Am D
I woke with something in my head
G C9 Am D
I couldn' t escape the memory
G C9 Am D
Of a phone call and of what you said
G C9 Am D
Like a game show contestant with a parting gift
G C Am D
I could not believe my eyes
G C9 Am D
When I saw through the voice of a trusted friend
G C9 Am D
Who needs to humor me and tell me lies
G C9 Am D
Yeah humor me and tell me lies
G C9 Am D
And I' ll lie too and say I don' t mind
G C9 Am D
And as we seek so shall we find
G C9 Am D
And when you' re feeling open I' ll still be here
G C9 Am D
But not without a certain degree of fear
G C9 Am D
Of what will be with you and me
G C9 Am D
I still can see things hopefully
G C9 Am D
But you
G C9 Am D
Why you wanna give me a run-around
G C9 Am D
Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up
G C9 Am D G C9 Am D
When all it does is sl - ow me down
G C9 Am D
And shake me and my confidence
G C9 Am D
About a great many things
G C9 Am D
But I' ve been there I can see it cower
G C9 Am D
Like a nervous magician waiting in the wings
G C9 Am D
Of a bad play where the heroes are right
G C9 Am D
And nobody thinks or expects too much
G C9 Am D
And Hollywood' s calling for the movie rights
G C9 Am D
Singing hey babe let' s keep in touch
G C9 Am D
Hey baby let' s keep in touch
G C9 Am D
But I want more than a touch I want you to reach me
G C9 Am D
And show me all the things no one else can be
G C9 Am D
So what you feel becomes mine as well
G C9 Am D
And soon if we' re lucky we' d be unable to tell
G C9 Am D
What' s yours and mine the finshings fine
G C9 Am D
And it doesn' t have to rhyme so don' t feed me a line
G C9 Am D
But you
G C9 Am D
Why you wanna give me a run-around
G C9 Am D
Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up
G C9 Am D G C9 Am D
When all it does is sl - ow me down

G C9 Am D
Tra la la la la bomba dear this is the pilot speaking
G C9 Am D
And I' ve got some news for you
G C9 Am D
It seems my ship still stands no matter what you drop
G C9 Am D
And there ain' t a whole lot that you can do
G C9 Am D
Oh sure the banner may be torn and wind' s gotten colder
G C9 Am D
Perhaps I' ve grown a little cynical
G C9 Am D
But I know no matter what the waitress brings
G C9 Am D
I shall drink it and always be full
G C9 Am D
Yeah I will drink it and always be full
G C9 Am D
Oh I like coffee, and I like tea
G C9 Am D
I' d like to be able to enter a final plea
G C9 Am D
I still got this dream that you just can' t shake
G C9 Am D
I love you to the point you can no longer take
G C9 Am D
Well all right, okay, so be that way
G C9 Am D
I hope and pray that there' s something left to say
G C9 Am D
But you
G C9 Am D
Why you wanna give me a run-around
G C9 Am D
Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up
G C9 Am D
When all it does is slow me down
G C9 Am D
But you
G C9 Am D
Why you wanna give me a run-around
G C9 Am D
Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up
G C9 Am D G C9 Am D
When all it does is sl - ow me down
