Once

up-

on

a

mid-

Bbm

Eb

night

dear-

ie,

I

woke__

Ab

Db

with

some-

thing

in

my

head.

Bbm

Eb

I

Ab

Db

could-

n't

es-

cape__

the

mem-

Bbm

Eb

o-

ry__

of

a

phone__

Ab

Db

call

and

of__

what

you

Bbm

Eb

said.__

Like

a

Ab

Db

game

show

con-

test-

ant

with

a

Bbm

Eb

part_

ing

gift__

I

could

not__

Ab

Db

be-

lieve__

my__

eyes__

Bbm

Eb

when

I

saw

Ab

Db

through

the

voice__

of

a

trust-

Bbm

Eb

ed

friend__

who

needs

to

Ab

Db

hu-

mor

me

and__

tell

me

Bbm

Eb

lies.__

Yeah,

hu-

Ab

Db

mor

me

and__

tell

me

Bbm

Eb

lies.

And

Ab

Db

I'll

lie

too,

and

say

I__

Bbm

Eb

don't

mind.__

And

Ab

Db

as

we

seek,___

so

shall__

Bbm

Eb

we

find.__

And

Ab

Db

when

you're

feel-

ing

o-

pen

I'll

still__

Bbm

Eb

be

here,__

but

Ab

Db

not

with-

out

a

cer-

tain

de-

gree__

Bbm

Eb

of

fear__

of__

Ab

Db

what

will

be__

with

Bbm

Eb

you

and

me.__

I

still__

Ab

Db

can

see__

things,

hope-

Ab

Db

shake

me

and__

my

co-

Bbm

Eb

fi-

dence__

'bout

a

Ab

Db

great

man-

y

things,__

Bbm

Eb

but

I've

been__

Ab

Db

there;__

I

can

see__

Bbm

Eb

it

cow-

er

like

a

nerv-

Ab

Db

ous

ma-

gi-

cian

waiting

in

the

Bbm

Eb

wings.__

Or

a

bad__

Ab

Db

play__

where

the

he-

Bbm

Eb

roes

are

right__

and

Ab

Db

no-

bod-

y

thinks

or

ex-

pects__

Bbm

Eb

too__

much,

and

Ab

Db

Hol-

ly-

wood's

call-

ing

for

the

Bbm

Eb

mov-

ie

rights,__

sing-

ing

"Hey__

Ab

Db

babe,

let's

keep

in

Bbm

Eb

touch.__

Hey

ba-

Ab

Db

by,

let's

keep

in

Bbm

Eb

touch."

But

I

want

Ab

Db

more

than

a

touch;

I

want

you__

Bbm

Eb

to

reach

me

and

Ab

Db

show

me

all

the

things

no

one

else__

Bbm

Eb

can

see,__

so

Ab

Db

what__

you

feel__

be-

comes

mine__

Bbm

Eb

as

well.__

And

Ab

Db

soon,

if

we're

luck-

y,

we'd

be

un-

Bbm

Eb

a-

ble

to

tell

what's__

Ab

Db

yours

and

mine.__

The

Bbm

Eb

fish-

ing's

fine,__

and

it

does-

Ab

Db

n't

have

to

rhyme,__

so

don't

you

Ab

Db

ba,

dear,__

this

is

Bbm

Eb

the

pi-

lot

speak-

ing

and

I've__

Ab

Db

got__

some

news

for

you.__

Bbm

Eb

It

seem

my

Ab

Db

ship

still

stands

no

mat-

ter

Bbm

Eb

what

you

drop,

and

there

ain't

a

Ab

Db

whole

lot

that

you

can

do.

Bbm

Eb

Oh

sure,

the

Ab

Db

banner

my

be

torn

and

the

wind's

Bbm

Eb

got-

ten

cold-

er.

Ab

Db

Per-

haps

I've

grown

a

lit-

tle

Bbm

Eb

cyn-

i-

cal.__

But

I

know__

Ab

Db

no

mat-

ter

what_

the

wait-

Bbm

Eb

ress

brings,

I

shall

drink__

Ab

Db

it

and

al-

ways

be

Bbm

Eb

full.__

Yeah,

I

will

Ab

Db

drink__

it

and

al-

ways

be

Bbm

Eb

full.

Oh,__

Ab

Db

I

like

cof-

fee

and

I__

Bbm

Eb

like

tea.__

But

to

Ab

Db

be

a-

ble

to

en-

plea__

I

Ab

Db

still

Bbm

Eb

can't

I

Ab

Db

love

you

to

the

point

take,

Well,

o-

way

I

Ab

hope

and

pray

that
