[Verse 1]
Dm F Bbmaj7
You saw me standing by the wall,
G F
Corner of a main street,
Dm F Bbmaj7 G C
And the lights are flashing on your window sill,
Dm F Bbmaj7
All a - lone ain't much fun,
G F Dm
So you're looking for the thrill,
F Bbmaj7 G
And you know just what it takes and where to go
[Chorus]
Bm Dmaj7 G
Don't say a prayer for me now,
F#m A Bm
Save it 'til the morning after,
Dmaj7 G
No, don't say a prayer for me now,
F#m A Dm F Bbmaj7 G
Save it 'til the morning after----------!

Dm F Bbmaj7
Feel the breeze deep on the inside,
G F Dm
Look you down in - to your well,
F Bbmaj7 G
If you can you'll see the world in all his fire,
Dm F Bbmaj7
Take a chance, like all dreamers,
G F Dm
Can't find no other way,
F Bbmaj7 G
You don't have to dream it all, just live a day

Dm F
Pretty looking road,
Bbmaj7 G F Dm
I try to hold the rising floods that fill my skin,
F
Don't ask me why,
Bbmaj7 G
I'll keep my promise, melt the ice,
Dm F Bbmaj7
And you wanted to dance, so I asked you to dance,
G F Dm
But fear is in your soul,
F Bbmaj7
Some people call it a one night stand,
G C
But we can call it paradise
[Chorus]

For the GUITAR chord box diagrams to match my
suggested choices you need to manually select the
following choice of options by clicking on the
forward/backward arrows below five of the diagrams.
The other chord boxes should be the default
first option and don't need any reselecting.
As long as you are logged into your account,
these choices will be saved automatically for every
time you view this tab.
Dm Dm7 G Dm/Bb Dm/A
<2 of 17> <6 of 36> <2 of 27> <5 of 11> <12 of 21>
The only exception to the above is that I use two
inversions of Dm in my tab, (differentiated by an
asterisk in my chord legend) but unfortunately there
is no facility to save both variations as chord boxes,
so you will have to make a personal choice...
Dm * or Dm
<2 of 17> <1 of 17>
