[Verse]
                     A    Dbm    
She came all the way from America
    A                            
She had a blind date with destiny
E                   A       Dbm
And the sound of Te Awamutu ■  
B                      
Had a truly sacred ring
        A           E       
Now her parents are divorced
                 Ab         A      
And her friend's committing suicide


[Chorus]
  B         E                      A     E
I could not escape a plea from the heart ■
A                D          
You know what it means to me
B                   E   
She said don't walk away
               A    
I'm down on my knees

Oh please don't be mean to me

     E         A          Dbm 
So I talked to you for an hour
       A                   B    
In the bar of a small town hotel
        E        A          Dbm     
And you asked me what I was thinking
      B                        
I was thinking of a padded cell
       A                 
With a black and white TV
E  Ab7                  A     
To stop us from getting lonely
  B         E                      A    
I could not escape s plea from the heart
                 D        B 
You know what it means to me


[Chorus]
                E                   A     A7
Said don't walk away I'm down on my knees ■ 
                   D       B 
Oh please don't be mean to me
                E                      A    
Now I could not escape a plea from the heart
           D       
Mysterious sympathy
B                     E                          
■ Couldn't wait for a chance to walk out the door
A                D        B 
You know what it means to me
