[Intro]
G C
[Verso 1]
Am
D (2x)
[Verse 1]
G C Am D
Oh, once upon a midnight dearie
G C Am D
I woke with something in my head
G C Am D
You see I couldn't escape the memory
G C Am D
Of the phone call and of what you said
G C Am D
Like a game show contestant with a parting gift
G C Am D
I could not believe my eyes
G C Am D
When I saw through the voice of a trusted friend
G C Am D
Who needs to humor me and tell me lies,
G C Am D
yeah humor me and tell me lies
[Verse 2]
G C Am D
And I'll lie too and say I don't mind
G C Am D
And as we seek so shall we find
G C Am D
And when you're feeling open I'll still be here
G C Am D
But not without a certain degree of fear
G C Am D
Of what will be with you and me
G C Am D
I still can see things hopefully
[Chorus]
G C Am
But you
D G C Am D
Why you wanna give me a run-around?
G C Am D
Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up?
G C Am D G C Am D
When all it does is slow me down
[Verse 3]
G C Am D
And shake me and my confidence
G C Am D
About a great many things
G C Am D
But I've been there I can see it cower
G C Am D
Like a nervous magician waiting in the wings
G C Am D
Of a bad play where the heroes are right
G C Am D
And nobody thinks or expects too much
G C Am D
And Hollywood's calling for the movie rights
G C Am D
Singing "Hey babe, let's keep in touch",
G C Am D
hey baby, let's keep in touch
[Verse 4]
G C Am D
But I want more than a touch I want you to reach me
G C Am D
And show me all the things no one else can see
G C Am D
So what you feel becomes mine as well
G C Am D
And soon if we're lucky we'd be unable to tell
G C Am D
What's yours and mine, the fishing's fine
G C Am D
And it doesn't have to rhyme, so don't you feed me a line
[Chorus]
[Instrumental]
G C Am
D (2x)
[Verse 5]
G C Am D
Tra la la bom da dear, this is the pilot speaking, and I've
G C Am D
Got some news for you
G C Am D
It seems my ship still stands no matter what you drop
G C Am D
And there ain't a whole lot that you can do
G C Am D
Oh sure the banner may be torn and the wind's gotten colder
G C Am D
Perhaps I've grown a little cynical
G C Am D
But I know no matter what the waitress brings
G C Am D
I shall drink it and always be full, yeah
G C Am D
I will drink it and always be full
[Verse 6]
G C Am D
Oh I like coffee and I like tea
G C Am D
I'd like to be able to enter a final plea
G C Am D
I still got this dream that you just can't shake
G C Am D
I love you to the point you can no longer take
G C Am D
Well all right okay, so be that way
G C Am D
I hope and pray that there's something left to say
[Chorus]
[Outro]
G C Am
Oh you
[Refrão] (repetir)
