[verse 1]
A
There must be many times
Amaj7
I had a hand of dimes
A7
And every phone I tried
D E
Was broken down
[verse 2]
A
To the bottom line
Amaj7
That these are games of time
A7
Went on the street I look and I'll
D E
See you everywhere
[chorus]
Bm
Don't mean to say
E A F#m
That I ain't gonna try now
D E A Gdim
That when I see it's in your eyes... And it's true
Bm E A
Well you don't have to leave the floor
F#m A(b9) D Bm7b5 E A
When you can't deal with the feeling any more
[Instrumental]
Bm7b5 E
[verse 3]
A
There must be many lines
Amaj7
That make a laugh of times
A7
While we're out running round
D E
And having fun
[verse 4]
A
Give me a special sign
Amaj7
Pick up this call of mine
A7
It's rung out fifteen times
D E
And I'm staring into space
[chorus]
Bm
Don't mean to say
E A F#m
That I ain't gonna try now
Bm E A Gdim
That when I see it's in your eyes I know it's true
Bm E A F#m
But who knows what feelings stand for sure
Bm Bm7b5 E A
Except that I don't really want to leave her anymore
[chorus repeat]
Bm
Who's there to say
E A F#m
That I ain't gonna try now
D E A
That when I see it's in your eye
Gdim
I know it's true
Bm E A F#m
Who knows what really stands for sure
D Bm7b5 E A
When you can't deal with this whole thing anymore
[outro]
D E
Cos I can't stand it being out here
A F#
On my own anymore
Dm Bm7b5 E
Help me deal with this feeling
A
and be sure
