[Intro 1]
[G][C][Am][D]
[G][C][Am][D]
[G][C][Am][D]
[G][C][Am][D]
[G][C][Am][D]
[G](Oh[C])[Am][D]

[Verse 1]
[G]Once up[C]on a [Am]midnight [D]eerie
I [G]woke with some[C]thing in my [Am]head[D]
I [G]couldn't es[C]cape the [Am]memo[D]ry
Of a [G]phone call and [C]of what [Am]you [D]said
Like a [G]game show [C]contestant
with [Am]a parting gif[D]t
I could [G]not be[C]lieve my [Am]eyes[D]
When I [G]saw through the [C]thoughts
of a [Am]trusted [D]friend
Who needs to [G]humor me
[C]and tell [Am]me li[D]es, yeah
[G]Humor me [C]and tell [Am]me l[D]ies

[Pre-chorus 1]
And [G]I'll [C]lie too and say [Am]I don't min[D]d
And [G]as we [C]seek so [Am]shall we [D]find
And [G]when you're feel[C]ing open I'll [Am]still be [D]here
But [G]not without [C]a certain deg[Am]ree of f[D]ear
Well, [G]what will [C]be [Am]with you and [D]me
I [G]still can [C]see things [Am]hopeful[D]ly

[Chorus 1]
But [G]you[C][Am]
[D]Why you wanna [G]give me a [C]run-a[Am]round?
[D]Is it [G]sure[C]-fire way to [Am]speed things [D]up?
When [G]all it does [C]is [Am]slow [D]me dow[G]n
[C][Am][D]

[Verse 2]
[G]Shake [C]me and my [Am]confi[D]dence
About a [G]great [C]many [Am]things[D]
But I've [G]been there [C]I can s[Am]ee it c[D]ower
Like a nerv[G]ous magi[C]cian
waiting in the [Am]wings[D]
Of a [G]bad [C]play where the [Am]heroes are [D]right
And [G]nobody [C]thinks or ex[Am]pects too [D]much
And [G]Holly[C]wood's calling for [Am]the movie [D]rights
Singing "Hey [G]babe, [C]let's keep in [Am]touch",[D]
hey [G]baby, [C]let's keep [Am]in to[D]uch

[Pre-chorus 2]
But I want [G]more than [C]a touch
I [Am]want you to [D]reach me
And [G]show me all [C]the things
no one [Am]else can [D]see
So [G]what you [C]feel becomes [Am]mine as [D]well
And [G]soon if we're [C]lucky we'd be [Am]unable to [D]tell
What's [G]yours and [C]mine, [Am]the fishing's f[D]ine
And it [G]doesn't have to [C]rhyme,
so don't [Am]you feed me a l[D]ine

[Chorus 2]
But [G]you[C][Am]
[D]Why you wanna [G]give me a [C]run-a[Am]round?
[D]Is it [G]sure[C]-fire way to [Am]speed things [D]up?
When [G]all it does [C]is [Am]slow [D]me dow[G]n
[C][Am][D]

[Solo 1]

[G][C][Am][D]

[G][C][Am][D]
[G](Tr[C]a l[Am]a la[D] la)

[Bridge 1]
[G]Bombar[C]dier this [Am]is the pilot s[D]peaking
And [G]I've got [C]some news for [Am]you[D]
It seems my [G]ship still [C]stands
no mat[Am]ter what you d[D]rop
And there ain't a [G]whole lot
that [C]you can [Am]do[D]

[Verse 3]
Oh sure the [G]banner may [C]be torn
and the [Am]wind's gotten [D]colder
[G]Perhaps I'v[C]e grown a little cyn[Am]ical[D]
But I [G]know no [C]matter what the [Am]waitress [D]brings
I shall [G]drink it [C]and always [Am]be f[D]ull, yeah
I will [G]drink it [C]and always [Am]be fu[D]ll

[Verse 4]
Oh [G]I l[C]ike coffee and I[Am] like tea[D]
I'd like to [G]be able [C]to enter a [Am]final [D]plea
I [G]still got [C]this dream that you [Am]just can't [D]shake
I [G]love you to [C]the point you can [Am]no longer ta[D]ke
Well all [G]right [C]okay, [Am]so be that wa[D]y
I [G]hope and [C]pray
that there's [Am]something left to [D]say

[Chorus 3]
But [G]you[C][Am]
[D]Why you wanna [G]give me a [C]run-a[Am]round?
[D]Is it [G]sure[C]-fire way to [Am]speed things [D]up?
When [G]all it does [C]is slow [Am]me do[D]wn?
Oh [G]you[C][Am]
[D]Why you wanna [G]give me a [C]run-a[Am]round?
[D]Is it [G]sure[C]-fire way to [Am]speed things [D]up?
When [G]all it does [C]is [Am]slow [D]me
[G]down[C][Am][D]

[Outro 1]
