Am7 D7 G
Night by night, I try to make things happen
Am7 D7
Whenever I'm alone
G
I go to places
Am7 D7
Where just like me,
G
Are filled with lonely
Am7 D7
Where smiles are full
G
But the hearts are empty
Am7 D7
Or just like me
G
Only the lonely
REFRAIN:
Em G
Can I be your friend tonight
Em G Bm Bbm Am7 D7
Can I feel the spaces between your eyes
G
And the chairs beside you
Am7 D7
I may be a stranger
G
But so are you
G
So tell me your name
F(b5) Em
Pretend that I am someone you can
Cm7
Possibly likely spend
Am7 D7 G
Eleven minutes of masquerading madness
G
Tell me who you are
F(b5) Em
Don't get too far sometimes but
Cm7
Don't need to fly that great of you
Am7 D7 G
To really understand just how I feel
Am7 D7 G
Night by night I try to make things happen
