Tone: [Bm]
Don't be afraid of [Em]me
I'm what you [Gb7]need
Verse 1:
I saw you on the [Bm]screens
I know we're meant to be
You're starrin' in my [Em]dreams
In magazines
You're lookin' right at [Gb7]me -You're lookin' right at me-
I'm here around the [Bm]clock
I'm waitin' on your block -I'm waitin' on your block-
But please don't call the [Em]cops
They'll make me stop
And I just wanna [Gb7]talk -I just wanna talk-
Pre-Chorus:
Bet I could change your [Bm]life
You could be my wife -Wife, wife-
Could get into a [Em]fight -Fight-
I'll say "You're right"
And you'll kiss me good[Gb7]goodnight
Chorus:
I waited on the [Bm]corner 'til I saw the sitter leave
Was easy getting over and I landed on my feet
I came in through the [Em]kitchen lookin' for something to eat
I left a calling [Gb7]card so they would know that it was me
Post-Chorus:
[Bm] -Ah, a[Em]ah, ah[Gb7]ah-
Verse 2:
I tried to save you, but I [Bm]failed
Two fifty thousand dollar bail -Two hundred fifty thousand dollar-
While I'm away, don't read my [Em]mail -Don't read my mail-
Just bring a veil -Just bring a veil-
And come visit me in [Gb7]jail -Visit me in jail-
Pre-Chorus:
I'll go back to the [Bm]diner
I'll write another letter -I'll write another letter-
I hope you'll read it [Em]this time
You [Gb7]better
Chorus:
The cops around the [Bm]corner stopped me when I tried to leave
They told me I was crazy and they
knocked me off my feet -They told me I was crazy-
They came in through the [Em]kitchen looking for something discrete
I left a calling [Gb7]card so that they would know that it was me
Post-Chorus:
[Bm] -Ah, ah[Em]ah, know that it [Gb7]was me-
Verse 3:
I memorized your [Bm]number, now I call you when I please
I tried to end it all, but now I'm back up on my feet
I saw you in the [Em]car with someone else and couldn't sleep
If something happens to him, you can [Gb7]bet that it was me
