So ^G here she's actin' ^Em happy, ^D inside her handsome ^Bm home And ^G me, I'm flyin' in my ^D taxi, taking ^C tips ^Bb and gettin' ^D stoned

I got into town a little early ^D ^Am Had eight hours to kill before the show First I though about heading up north of the bay Then I ^C knew where I ^Bb had to go ^D I thought about taking a limousine ^D ^Am Or at least a fancy car But I ended up taking a "Taxi' 'Cause ^C that's how I ^Bb this ^D far

You see ^G ten years ago it was the ^Em front seat Drivin' ^D stoned and feelin' no ^Bm pain Now ^G here I am straight and ^D sittin' in the back Hitting [C] Sixteen [Bb] Parkside [D] Lane [C] [Bb] [D] [D] [C] [E]

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

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

^E And the look on her face as she ^G opened the door Was like an ^A old joke told by a ^C friend It'd taken ^D ten more years but she'd ^E found her smile And I ^D watched the corners start to ^E bend

And she ^A said, 'How are you ^B7 Harry' Haven't we ^E played this scene before'' I ^A said, "It's so good to ^E see you , Sue. Had to ^D play it out ^C just once ^E more ^DPlay it out just once ^E more."

She said 'I've heard you flying high on my radio.' ^E ^Bm I answered "It's not all it seem." That's when she laughed and she said, "It's better sometimes, when we don't ^D get to touch our ^E dreams." [D - E] x2

That's when I ^A asked her where was that ^F#m actress She ^E said "That was somebody ^C#m else." And then I ^A asked her why she looked so ^E happy now She said, "I ^D finally like myself, at last I like ^E myself."

[E] [Abm] [E7] [E7/Db] [F#m] [D7] [C] [E]

^E So we talked all through that afternoon ^Abm Talking about where we'd been ^E7 We talked of the tiny difference ^E7/Db Between ending and starting to begin ^F#m We talked 'cause talking tells you things ^D7 Like what you are really thinking about ^C But sometimes you can't find what you're feeling ^E 'Til all the words run out

So I asked her to come to the concert ^E ^Bm She said 'No, I work at night." I said, 'We've gotten to damn good at leaving, Sue." She said, '[D] Harry, [C] your [E] right." [D] [E] [D] [E]

Don't ^A ask me if I made ^F#m love to her Or which ^E one 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 all I'D [E] lie. [D] [C] [E] [C] [Bb] [D]

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

I guess ^G it's a sequel to our ^Em story >From the ^D journey 'tween heaven and ^Bm hell With ^G half the time thinking of what ^D might have been been And ^C half thinkin' ^Bb just as ^D well I guess ^G only ^A7 time will ^D tell
