[Verse]
G    C      D              
Once upon a midnight dreary
G           C               D   
I woke with something in my head
G          C          Am     D
I couldn't escape the memory 
     G              C           Am   D
Of a phone call and of what you said 
       G         C                 Am      D   
Like a game show contestant with a parting gift
        G   C          Am   D
I could not believe my eyes 
       G               C          Am      D     
When I saw through the voice of a trusted friend
             G         C           Am   D
Who needs to humour me and tell me lies 
     G         C           Am  
Yeah humour me and tell me lies
G            C           Am D         
And I'll lie too and say I  don't mind
G         C       Am    D      
And as we seek so shall we find
G               C                 Am    D      
And when you're feeling open I'll still be here
G                 C       Am     D      
But not without a certain degree of fear
G            C       D         
Of what will be with you and me
  G         C          D        
I still can see things hopefully
    G   C
But you 


[Chorus]
D             G         C         D
Why you wanna give me a runaround 
        G        C            Am     D 
Is it a surefire way to speed things up
G                C       Am7 D   
When all it does is slow me  down
G   C D G        C      D         
And   shake me and my confidence


[Verse]
        G     C    Am     D
About a great many things 
         G          C     Am     D    
But I've been there I can see it cower
       G       C                       Am   
Like a nervous magician waiting in the wings
D    G   C              Am     D        
Of a bad play where the heroes are right
G          C         Am      D       
And nobody thinks or expects too much
    G           C               Am    D     
And Hollywood's calling for the movie rights
        G              C       Am   
Singing hey babe let's keep in touch
D   G    C          Am D    
Hey baby let's keep in touch
           G           C       Am          D       
But I want more than a touch I want you to reach me
    G               C             Am   D      
And show me all the things no one else can see
G           C            Am   D      
So what you fear becomes mine as well
    G             C             Am7       D   
And soon if we're lucky we'd be unable to tell
       G         C        D             
What's yours and mine the fishing's fine
       G               C              D             
And it doesn't have to rhyme so don't feed me a line


[Chorus]
    G   C
But you 
D             G         C         Am
Why you wanna give me a runaround  
D       G        C      Am    D        
Is it a surefire way to speed things up
G        C          D       G   
When all it does is slow me down
C D G C Am7 D G C
         


[Solo]

[Chorus]
            G     C            Am  D             
Tralalalala bomba dear this is the pilot speaking
         G        C        D  
And I've got some news for you
            G          C         D                   
It seems my ship still stands no matter what you drop
                G                C         
And there ain't a whole lot that you can do


[Verse]
Am D          G             C            Am     D            
Oh  sure the banner may be torn and the wind's gotten colder
G            C              D      
Perhaps I've grown a little cynical
      G       C               Am       D     
But I know no matter what the waitress brings
        G        C             Am   D
I shall drink it and always be full 
       G             C          D      
Yeah I will drink it and always be full
G         C     
Oh I like coffee
Am7   D       
And I like tea
            G          C       Am    D   
I'd like to be able to enter a final plea
G                C              D               
I still got this dream that you just can't shake
G                 C                Am         
I love you to the point you can no longer take
D        G     C   
Well all right okay
Am    D       
So be that way
  G            
I hope and pray
C            Am                D  
That there's something left to say


[Chorus]
    G   C Am
But you   
D             G         C         Am D
Why you wanna give me a runaround   
        G        C      Am    D        
Is it a surefire way to speed things up
G                C          Am   D
When all it does is slow me down 
G   C   Am
But you  
D             G         C         Am D
Why you wanna give me a runaround   
        G        C      D              
Is it a surefire way to speed things up
G                C  Am   D    G   
When all it does is slow  me down
C Am D G C Am D G
