A
well it’s a big big city and it’s always the same
C#m
can never be too pretty tell me you your name
C#m Cm Bm Em7
is it out of line if i were so bold to say “would you be mine”?
A
because i may be a beggar and you maybe the queen
C#m
i know i may be on a downer i’m still ready to dream
C#m Cm Bm Em7
now it’s 3 o’clock the time is just the time it takes for you to talk

Em7 E7 A C#m
so if you’re lonely why did you say you’re not lonely
C#m Cm Bm
oh you’re a silly girl , i know i hurt it so
Em7
it’s just like you to come and go
A C#m
you know me no you don’t even know me
C#m Cm Bm
you’re so sweet to try , oh my , you caught my eye
Em7
a girl like you’s just irresistible

A
well it’s a big big city and the lights are all out
C#m
but it’s much as i can do you know to figure you out
C#m Cm Bm Em7
and i must confess , my heart’s in broken pieces and my head’s a mess
A
and it’s 4 in the morning , and i’m walking along
C#m
beside the ghost of every drinker here who has ever done wrong
C#m Cm Bm Em7
and it’s you , woo hoo , that’s got me going crazy for the things you do

Em7 E7 A C#m
so if you’re crazy , i don’t care you amaze me
C#m Cm Bm Em7
oh you’re a stupid girl , oh me , oh my , you talk , i die

you smile , you laugh , i cry
A C#m
and only , a girl like you could be lonely
C#m Cm Bm
and it’s a crying shame , if you would think the same
Em7
a boy like me’s just irresistible

Em7 E7 A C#m
so if you’re lonely , why did you say you’re not lonely
C#m Cm Bm
oh you’re a silly girl , i know i hurt it so
Em7
it’s just like you to come and go
A C#m
and know me , no you don’t even know me
C#m Cm Bm
you’re so sweet to try oh my , you caught my eye
Em7 E7 A
a girl like you’s just irresistible
