Lyrics

(Bb)All (Cm7)the (Bb)waiters (Cm7)in (Bb)your (C7)grand (Dm7)(C7)café

(F7)leave (Gm7)their (F7)tables (Gm7)when (F7)you (Bb)blink.

(Eb)Oh,

(Bb)(Cm7)ev'ry (Bb)dog must (Cm7)have (Bb)its (C7)(Dm7)ev'ry (C7)day,

(F7)(Gm7)ev'ry (F7)drunk must (Gm7)have (F7)his (Bb)drink.

Don't wait (D7)for (Gm)answers;

just take (Bb7)your (Em7)chances;

don't ask (Eb)me why.

(Bb)All (Cm7)your (Bb)life you (Cm7)had (Bb)to (C7)stand (Dm7)in (C7)line.

(F7)Still (Gm7)you're (F7)standing (Gm7)on (F7)your (Bb)feet.

(Eb)Oh,

(Bb)all (Cm7)your (Bb)choices (Cm7)made (Bb)you (C7)change (Dm7)your (C7)mind.

(F7)Now (Gm7)your (F7)(Gm7)calendar's (F7)(Bb)complete.

Don't wait (D7)for (Gm)answers;

just take (Bb7)your (Em7)chances;

don't ask (Eb)me why.

(Eb)Mm, (F)you can say the human heart is (Eb)only make believe,

and (F)I am only fighting fire with (Bb)fire.

But (G)you are still a victim of the (C)accidents you leave,

as (G7)sure as I'm a victim of (C7)(F7)desiyiyire.

(Bb)All (Cm7)the (Bb)servants (Cm7)in (Bb)your (C7)new (Dm7)(C7)hotel

(F7)throw (Gm7)their (F7)roses (Gm7)at (F7)your (Bb)feet.

(Eb)Oh,

(Bb)Fool (Cm7)them (Bb)all, but, (Cm7)(Bb)baby, (C7)I (Dm7)can (C7)tell.

(F7)You're (Gm7)no (F7)stranger (Gm7)to (F7)the (Bb)street.

Don't ask (D7)for (Gm)favors.

Don't talk (Bb7)to (Em7)strangers.

Don't ask (Eb)me why.

(Bb)Don't (Eb)ask me (Bb)why
