| Once | upon a | midnight | dearie |
| G | Cadd9 | Am | D | |
| I woke | with something | in my | head |
| G | Cadd9 | Am | D | |
| I couldn't | escape t | he m | emory |
| G | Cadd9 | Am | D | |
| Of a | phone call and | of what you | said |
| G | Cadd9 | Am | D | G | |
| Like a | game show | contestant | with a parting g | ift |
| C | Am | D | |
| I could | not | believe my | eyes |
| G | Cadd9 | Am | D | G | |
| When I | saw through the | voice | of a trusted fr | iend |
| G | Cadd9 | Am | D | G | |
| Who nee | ds to humor me | and te | ll me | lies |
| G | Cadd9 | Am | D | |
| Yeah | humor me and | tell me | lies |
| G | Cadd9 | Am | D | |
| And I'll | lie too | and say | I don't mind |
| G | Cadd9 | Am | D | |
| And as | we seek | so shall | we find |
| G | Cadd9 | Am | D | |
| And when | you're feeling | open I | 'll still be here |
| G | Cadd9 | Am | D | G | |
| But not | without a | certain | degree of fear |
| G | Cadd9 | Am | D | |
| Of what | will be with | you and | me |
| G | Cadd9 | Am | D | |
| I still | can see th | ings hope | fully |
| (CHORUS) |
| G | Cadd9 | Am | D | |
| But | you |
| G | Cadd9 | Am | D | |
| Why you | wanna give | me a | run-around |
| G | Cadd9 | Am | D | |
| Is it a | sure-fire way to | speed things | up |
| G | Cadd9 | Am | D | |
| When all | it does is | slow me | down |
| Slow me down |
| G | Cadd9 | Am | D | |
| And shake | me and | my confi | dence |
| G | Cadd9 | Am | D | |
| About a | great | many th | ings |
| G | Cadd9 | Am | D | |
| But I've been | there I can | see it | cower |
| G | Cadd9 | Am | D | G | |
| Like a ne | rvous m | agician | waiting in the wing | s |
| Cadd9 | Am | D | G | |
| Of a | bad play | where the | heroes are righ | t |
| Cadd9 | Am | D | |
| And nobody | thinks or | expects too | much |
| G | Cadd9 | Am | D | |
| And Hollyw | ood's calling for th | e movie | rights |
| G | Cadd9 | Am | D | |
| Singing hey | babe let's | keep in | touch |
| G | Cadd9 | Am | D | |
| Hey | baby let's | keep in | touch |
| G | Cadd9 | Am | D | |
| But I want | more than a t | ouch I want you to | reach me |
| G | Cadd9 | Am | D | |
| And show me | all the | things no one | else can see |
| G | Cadd9 | Am | D | |
| So what you | feel becomes | mine as | well |
| G | Cadd9 | Am | D | |
| And soon if we' | re lucky we'd | be unable to | tell |
| G | Cadd9 | Am | D | |
| What's yours and | mine the | finshings | fine |
| G | Cadd9 | Am | D | G | |
| And it | doesn't | have to rh | yme so don't feed me a | line |
| (CHORUS) |
