Once

up-

on

a

mid-

Cm

F

night

dear-

ie,

I

woke__

Bb

Eb

with

some-

thing

in

my

head.

Cm

F

I

Bb

Eb

could-

n't

es-

cape__

the

mem-

Cm

F

o-

ry__

of

a

phone__

Bb

Eb

call

and

of__

what

you

Cm

F

said.__

Like

a

Bb

Eb

game

show

con-

test-

ant

with

a

Cm

F

part_

ing

gift__

I

could

not__

Bb

Eb

be-

lieve__

my__

eyes__

Cm

F

when

I

saw

Bb

Eb

through

the

voice__

of

a

trust-

Cm

F

ed

friend__

who

needs

to

Bb

Eb

hu-

mor

me

and__

tell

me

Cm

F

lies.__

Yeah,

hu-

Bb

Eb

mor

me

and__

tell

me

Cm

F

lies.

And

Bb

Eb

I'll

lie

too,

and

say

I__

Cm

F

don't

mind.__

And

Bb

Eb

as

we

seek,___

so

shall__

Cm

F

we

find.__

And

Bb

Eb

when

you're

feel-

ing

o-

pen

I'll

still__

Cm

F

be

here,__

but

Bb

Eb

not

with-

out

a

cer-

tain

de-

gree__

Cm

F

of

fear__

of__

Bb

Eb

what

will

be__

with

Cm

F

you

and

me.__

I

still__

Bb

Eb

can

see__

things,

hope-

Bb

Eb

shake

me

and__

my

co-

Cm

F

fi-

dence__

'bout

a

Bb

Eb

great

man-

y

things,__

Cm

F

but

I've

been__

Bb

Eb

there;__

I

can

see__

Cm

F

it

cow-

er

like

a

nerv-

Bb

Eb

ous

ma-

gi-

cian

waiting

in

the

Cm

F

wings.__

Or

a

bad__

Bb

Eb

play__

where

the

he-

Cm

F

roes

are

right__

and

Bb

Eb

no-

bod-

y

thinks

or

ex-

pects__

Cm

F

too__

much,

and

Bb

Eb

Hol-

ly-

wood's

call-

ing

for

the

Cm

F

mov-

ie

rights,__

sing-

ing

"Hey__

Bb

Eb

babe,

let's

keep

in

Cm

F

touch.__

Hey

ba-

Bb

Eb

by,

let's

keep

in

Cm

F

touch."

But

I

want

Bb

Eb

more

than

a

touch;

I

want

you__

Cm

F

to

reach

me

and

Bb

Eb

show

me

all

the

things

no

one

else__

Cm

F

can

see,__

so

Bb

Eb

what__

you

feel__

be-

comes

mine__

Cm

F

as

well.__

And

Bb

Eb

soon,

if

we're

luck-

y,

we'd

be

un-

Cm

F

a-

ble

to

tell

what's__

Bb

Eb

yours

and

mine.__

The

Cm

F

ing's

and

it

does-

Bb

Eb

n't

have

rhyme,__

so

don't

you

Bb

Eb

Cm

F

the

pi-

lot

I've__

Bb

Cm

F

It

seem

Bb

Eb

ship

still

stands

no

mat-

ter

Cm

F

what

you

and

there

ain't

a

Bb

Eb

Cm

F

Oh

Bb

Eb

banner

torn

and

the

wind's

Cm

F

ten

cold-

er.

Bb

Eb

Per-

haps

I've

grown

But

I

know__

Bb

Eb

no

mat-

ter

what_

the

wait-

ress

brings,

I

drink__

Bb

Eb

al-

Yeah,

Oh,__

Well,
