[Verse 1]
[G]So here she's actin' [Em]happy in
[D]side her handsome [Bm]home
And [G]me, I'm [D]flyin' in my taxi,
takin' [C]tips [Bb]and gettin' stoned
[D]

[Verse 2]
I got into town a little early
Had eight hours to kill before the show
First I thought about heading
up north of the bay
Then [C]I knew where I [Bb]had [D]to go
I thought about taking a limousine
[Am]Or at le[D]ast a fancy car
But I ended up taking a taxi
'Cause [C]that's how [Bb]I got this [D]far

[Verse 3]
You see, [G]ten years ago it
was [Em]the front seat
Drivin' [D]stoned and feelin' no [Bm]pain
Now [G]here I am straight and sit
[D]tin' in the back
[C]Hitting [Bb]16Park[D]side Lane
[E]

[Verse 4]
The driveway was the same
as I remembered
And a butler came and
answered the door
He just shook his head when I
asked for her
And said, [D]"She doesn't live
[Am]here any[E]more"[D][Am][E]
But he offered to give me the address
That they were forwarding her letters to
I just took it and returned to
the cabbie and said
"I got [D]one more [Am]fare for you"
[E][D][Am]

[Verse 5]
[E]
And so we rolled back into [G]the city
Up to [A]a five-storey old old brown[C]stone
I rang the [D]bell that had her name
on [E]the mailbox
[D]The buzzer said [Am]somebody's
[E]home

[Interlude 1]
[D][Am][E][D][Am][E]

[Verse 6]
And [E]the look on her face as
she [G]opened the door
Was like an [A]old joke told by [C]a friend
It'd taken [D]ten more years but
she'd [E]found her smile
And I [D]watched [A]the corners start to [E]bend
And she said,
[A]"How are you Har[F#m]ry ?
Haven't we [E]played this scene before?"
I [A]said, "It's so good [E]to see you, Sue
Had [D]to play it out [Am]just once [E]more"
[D]Play it out just once [E]more

[Interlude 2]
[E][D][E]

[Verse 7]
She said, "I've [E]heard you
flying high on my radio"
I answered "It's not all it seems"
That's when she laughed and she said,
"It's better sometimes
When we [D]don't get [A]to touch our

[Interlude 3]
dreams"
[E][D][Am][E][D][Am][E]

[Verse 8]
That's when I [A]asked her,
"Where was that [F#m]actress?"
She [E]said,
"That [B]was somebody [E]else"
And then I [A]asked her why she
looked so [E]happy now
[D]She said, "I finally like myself,
at last I like [E]myself"

[Interlude 4]
[G#m][E][F#sus4][C#sus4][C#]
[F#m][F#dim][Am][E]

[Verse 9]
So [E]we talked all through that afternoon
Talking about where we'd been
We talked of the tiny difference
Between [C#sus4]ending and starting
to [C#]begin
[F#m]We talked 'cause talking tells you things
Like what you really are
[F#dim]thinking about
[Am]But sometimes you can't find
what [D]you're feeling
[E]'Til all the words run out

[Interlude 5]
[E]

[Verse 10]
So I [E]asked her to come to the concert
She said, "No, I work at night"
I said, "We've gotten too damn
good at leaving, Sue"
She [D]said, "Harry[A],
you're [E]right"
[D][Am][E][D][Am]

[Verse 11]
[E]
Don't [A]ask me if I made [F#m]love to her
Or which one [E]of us started to cry
Don't [A]ask me why she wouldn't
take the [E]money that I left
If I [D]answered at [Am]all I'd lie

[Interlude 6]
[E][D][E][C][Bb][D]

[Verse 12]
So I thought [D]about her as I sang that night
And how the circle keeps rolling around
[Am]How I [D]act as I'm facing the footlights
And how she's [C]flying with
[Bb]both feet on the ground
[D]

[Verse 13]
I [G]guess it's a sequel to [Em]our story
From the jour[D]ney 'tween
Heaven and [Bm]Hell
With [G]half the time thinking of
what [D]might have been
And half [C]thinkin' [Bb]just as we[D]ll
I guess [Em]only [A]time will [D]tell

[Outro 1]
