[Intro 1]
[C][Gm][C][Gm]
[C][Gm][C][Gm]

[Verse 1]
It was [C]raining [Gm]hard
in [C]'Frisco [Gm], I needed
[C]one more [Gm]fare to make [C]my [Gm]night
A [C]lady up [Gm]ahead waved to [C]flag me [Gm]down
[Bb]She got [Ab]in at the light
[C][Gm][C][Gm]

[Verse 2]
Oh, [C]where you going [Gm]to,
my [C]lady [Gm]blue
It's a [C]shame [Gm]you ruined [C]your g[Gm]own
in the [C]rain[Gm]
[C]She just [Gm]looked out the [C]window, [Gm]she said
[Bb]"Sixteen [Ab]Parkside [C]Lane"[Gm]
[C][Gm]
[C][Bb][D]
[C][Bb][D]

[Verse 3]
[D]Something abo[Am]ut her was fa[D]miliar[Am]
I could [D]swear I'd seen her [Am]face before
[D]But[Am] she said,[D]
"I'm [Am]sure you're [D]mistaken"[Am]
And she [C]didn't say [Bb]anything more
[D][Am][D][Am]

[Verse 4]
It took a [D]while,
but she [Am]looked in the [D]mirror[Am]
And she [D]glanced at the [Am]license
[D]for my [Am]name
A [D]smile seemed to [Am]come
to [D]her [Am]slowly
It was a [C]sad [Bb]smile, just the [D]same[Am]
[D][Am]

[Chorus 1]
And she [G]said, "How are you [D]Harry?"
[C]I said "How a[G]re you S[D]ue?
Through the [G]too many [Em]miles
And the [D]too little [Bm]smiles
I [Em]still [A]remember you[D]"[Am]

[Interlude 1]

[D][Am][D][Am]

[Verse 5]
It was [D]somewhere[Am]
in a [D]fairy [Am]tale
I [D]used to take her [Am]home in my [D]car[Am]
We [D]learned about [Am]love
in the [D]back of the [Am]Dodge
The [C]lesson hadn't [Bb]gone too far
[D][Am][D][Am]

[Chorus 2]
You see, [G]she was gonna be an [Em]actress
And [D]I was gonna learn to f[Bm]ly
[G]She took off to find the [D]footlights
[C]I took o[Bb]ff to find t[D]he s[Am]ky
[D][D]
[C][C][C][C]

[Bridge 1]
Whoa, [C]I've got something inside me
[Bm]To drive a princess bl[E]ind
There's a [Am]wild man, wizard
He's hiding in me,
[D]illuminating my [Em]mind
Oh, [C]I've got something inside me
[Bm]Not what my life's about[E]
'Cause [Am]I've been letting my outside tide me
[Bb]Over 'till my time, ru[Eb]ns out
[Eb][Eb]
[Bb][Bb]
[F][F]

[Bridge 2]
[F]Baby's so high that she's [C]skying
Yes she's [Gm]flying, afraid to [C]fall
[F]I'll tell you why baby's [Em]crying
'Cause she's [Am]dying, aren't we [Gm]all
[Em]

[Verse 6]
[D][Am][D][Am]
There was [D]not much [Am]more
for us to [D]talk [Am]about
What[D]ever we [Am]had once was g[D]one[Am]
So I [D]turned my [Am]cab
into the [D]driveway[Am]
Past the [C]gate and the [Bb]fine trimmed lawns
[D][Am][D][Am]

[Verse 7]
And she [D]said we [Am]must get to[D]gether[Am]
But I [D]knew it'd never [Am]be
ar[D]ranged[Am]
And she [D]handed me twenty [Am]dollars
For a [D]two fifty [Am]fare, she said
[C]"Ha[Bb]rry, keep the cha[D]nge"[Am]
[D][Am]

[Verse 8]
Well, a[D]nother man might have been angry
And another man might have been hurt
But another man never would have let her go
[C]I stashed the bil[Bb]l in my shirt
[D][Am][D][Am]

[Chorus 3]
And she [G]walked away in [D]silence
It's [C]strange, how you [G]never [D]know
But [G]we'd both [Em]gotten
what we'd [D]asked [Bm]for
Such a [Em]long, [A]long time ago
[D][Am][D][Am]

[Verse 9]
You see, [D]she was gonna [Am]be
an [D]actress[Am]
And [D]I was gonna l[Am]earn to f[D]ly[Am]
[D]She took off[Am] to find the foo[D]tlights[Am]
[C]I took o[Bb]ff for the sky
[D][Am][D][Am]

[Chorus 4]
And he[G]re she's acting [Em]happy
[D]In side her [Bm]handsome home
And [G]me, I'm flying in my [D]taxi
Taking [C]tips, [Bb]and getting
[D]sto[Am]ned[D][Am]

[Outro 1]
I go [Em]flying [A]so high, when [D]I'm sto[Am]ned
[D][Am][D][Am]
[D][Am]
[Repeat and fade]
