Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][C][G][F][C][G]
[F][C][G][F][C][G]
[F][C]
Just a [G]minute before you leave, girl

[Verse 1]
[F]
[C]
Just a [G]minute before you
touch the [F]door[C]
What is it that [G]you're trying to achieve,
[F]girl?[C]
Do you think we can [G]talk about
it [F]some more?
You know the [Dm]streets are filled
with vipers
Who've lost all ray of hope
You [G]know, it ain't even safe no more

[Verse 2]
In the palace of the Pope
[C]Don't fall [G]apart on me to[F]night
[C]I just don't thi[G]nk that I could han[F]dle it
[C]Don't fall [G]apart on [Em]me ton[F]ight
Yes[Dm]terday's just [Em]a memory
Tomor[F]row is never what it's
supposed to [G]be
And I need [F]you, yeah
[Gsus4][G][F]

[Verse 3]
[C]
Come over [G]here from over there, [F]girl[C]
Sit [G]down here, you can [F]have my [C]chair
I [G]can't see us going anywhere, [F]girl
The [C]only place open is a [G]thousand miles
away and [F]I can't take you there
[Dm]I wish I'd have been a doctor
Maybe I'd have saved
some life that had been lost
[C]Maybe I'd have done some
good in the world
[F]'St[G]ead of burning every bridge I crossed

[Verse 4]
[C]Don't fall apa[G]rt on me tonight
[F]I j[C]ust don't think [G]that I could handle it[F]
[C]Don't fall apa[G]rt on me tonight
[F]Yes[Dm]terday's just a mem[Em]ory
Tomor[F]row is never what it's
supposed to [C]be
And I need [F]you, [Gsus4]yeah

[Verse 5]
[G]I a[C]in't too good[G] at conversation, girl[F][C]
So you might [G]not know exactly how [F]I feel
[C]But if I could,
[G]I'd bring you to the mountaintop, [F]girl[C]
And [G]build you a house made out
of [F]stainless steel
But it's [Dm]like I'm stuck inside
a painting
That's like hanging in the loose
My [C]throat starts to tickle
and my nose itches
But I [G]know that I can't [C]move
Don't [G]fall apart [Em]on me

[Verse 6]
[F]to night
I just [C]don't think that [G]I
could handle [F]it
[C]Don't fall [G]apart on me to[F]night
Yes[Dm]terday's gone but the
[Em]past lives on
Tomor[F]row's just one step [G]beyond
[Gsus4]And I need you, yea[G]h[Gsus4][G]

[Verse 7]
[Bb]Who are these people who are
[F]walking towards you
Do you know them or will
there be a fight[C]?
With their [Bb]humorless smiles so
[F]easy to see through
Can they tell you what's wrong from [C]right?

[Verse 8]
Or [F]do you remember St. [C]James Street
Where you [F]blew Jackie P.'s mind?
[C]You were so [F]fine,
Clark Gable would have [C]fell at your feet
And [Bb]laid [F]his life on the [G]line[F]
[Gsus4][G]

[Interlude 1]
[C][G][F][C]
[G][F][C]
Let's try to [G]get beneath the surface waste,

[Verse 9]
[F]
girl
[C]No more booby traps and bom[G]bs
No more decad[F]ence and charm
[C]No more affectio[G]n
that's been misplaced, [F]girl
[C]No more mud cak[G]e creatures
lying [F]in your arms
[Dm]What about that millionaire with the
drumsticks in his pants?
He looked so [C]baffled and bewildered
When he [G]played and we didn't dance

[Verse 10]
[C]Don't fall apart [G]on me to[F]night
[C]I just d[G]on't think that
I could handle [F]it
[C]Don't fall [G]apart on me to[F]night
[Dm]Yesterday's just a [Em]memory
Tomor[F]row's never
what it's supposed to [C]be
[G]And [F]I need you[G], yeah, you

[Outro 1]
I need you
[C][G][F][C][G][F]
[C][G][F][C][G][F]
