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