Once

up-

on

a

mid-

Fm

Bb

night

dear-

ie,

I

woke__

Eb

Ab

with

some-

thing

in

my

head.

Fm

Bb

I

Eb

Ab

could-

n't

es-

cape__

the

mem-

Fm

Bb

o-

ry__

of

a

phone__

Eb

Ab

call

and

of__

what

you

Fm

Bb

said.__

Like

a

Eb

Ab

game

show

con-

test-

ant

with

a

Fm

Bb

part_

ing

gift__

I

could

not__

Eb

Ab

be-

lieve__

my__

eyes__

Fm

Bb

when

I

saw

Eb

Ab

through

the

voice__

of

a

trust-

Fm

Bb

ed

friend__

who

needs

to

Eb

Ab

hu-

mor

me

and__

tell

me

Fm

Bb

lies.__

Yeah,

hu-

Eb

Ab

mor

me

and__

tell

me

Fm

Bb

And

Eb

Ab

I'll

lie

too,

and

say

I__

Fm

Bb

don't

mind.__

And

Eb

Ab

as

we

seek,___

so

shall__

Fm

Bb

we

find.__

And

Eb

Ab

when

you're

feel-

ing

o-

pen

I'll

still__

Fm

Bb

be

here,__

but

Eb

Ab

not

with-

out

a

cer-

tain

de-

gree__

Fm

Bb

of

fear__

of__

Eb

Ab

what

will

be__

with

Fm

Bb

you

and

me.__

I

still__

Eb

Ab

can

see__

things,

hope-

Eb

Ab

shake

me

and__

my

co-

Fm

Bb

fi-

dence__

'bout

a

Eb

Ab

great

man-

y

things,__

Fm

Bb

but

I've

been__

Eb

Ab

there;__

I

can

see__

Fm

Bb

it

cow-

er

like

a

nerv-

Eb

Ab

ous

ma-

gi-

cian

waiting

in

the

Fm

Bb

wings.__

Or

a

bad__

Eb

Ab

play__

where

the

he-

Fm

Bb

roes

are

right__

and

Eb

Ab

no-

bod-

y

thinks

or

ex-

pects__

Fm

Bb

too__

much,

and

Eb

Ab

Hol-

ly-

wood's

call-

ing

for

the

Fm

Bb

mov-

ie

rights,__

sing-

ing

"Hey__

Eb

babe,

let's

keep

in

Fm

Bb

touch.__

Hey

ba-

Eb

Ab

by,

let's

keep

in

Fm

Bb

touch."

But

I

want

Eb

Ab

more

than

a

touch;

I

want

you__

Fm

Bb

to

reach

me

and

Eb

Ab

show

me

all

the

things

no

one

else__

Fm

Bb

can

see,__

so

Eb

Ab

what__

you

feel__

be-

comes

mine__

Fm

Bb

as

well.__

And

Eb

Ab

soon,

if

we're

luck-

y,

we'd

be

un-

Fm

Bb

a-

ble

to

tell

what's__

Eb

and

mine.__

The
