THE DINER Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][Eaug][Am][Eaug]
[Am][Eaug][Am]
Don't [Eaug]be afraid of me[Dm]
I'm what you [Eaug]need[E]

[Verse 1]
I saw you on the [Am]screens
I know we're meant to be
You're starrin' in my [Dm]dreams
In magazines
You're lookin' right at [E]me
(You're lookin' right at me)
I'm here around the [Am]clock
I'm waitin' on your block
(I'm waitin' on your block)
But please don't call the [Dm]cops
They'll make me stop
And I just wanna [E]talk
(I just wanna talk)

[Pre-chorus 1]
Bet I could change your [Am]life (life, life...)
You could be my wife (wife, wife...)
Could get into a [Dm]fight (fight)
I'll say, "You're right" (right)
And you'll kiss me good[E]night (night, night...)

[Chorus 1]
I waited on the [Am]corner 'til I saw the sitter leave
Was easy getting over and I landed on my feet
I came in through the [Dm]kitchen
lookin' for something to eat
I left a calling [Eaug]card so they would know

[Interlude 1]
that it was... me
[Am](Ah,[Am] ah,[Am][Am]
[Dm]ah)[Dm][Eaug]
[E]I tried to save you, but I

[Verse 2]
[Am]failed
Two fifty thousand dollar bail
(Two hundred fifty thousand...)
While I'm away, don't read my [Dm]mail
(Don't read my mail)
Just bring a [Dm]veil
And come visit me in [E]jail

[Pre-chorus 2]
I'll go back to the [Am]diner
I'll write another letter
(I'll write another letter)
I hope you'll read it [Dm]this [Dm]time
You [E]better

[Chorus 2]
The cops around the [Am]corner stopped me
when I tried to leave
They told me I was crazy
and they knocked me off my feet
They came in through the [Dm]kitchen
lookin' for something discrete
I left a calling [Eaug]card so they would know
that it [E]was... me

[Interlude 2]
[Am](Ah ah
[Dm]Ah)[Eaug]

[Verse 3]
I memorized your [Am]number,
now I call you when I please
I tried to end it all,
but now I'm back up on my feet
I saw you in the [Dm]car
with someone else and couldn't sleep
If somethin' happens [Eaug]to him,

[Outro 1]
you can bet that it was me
