She came D all the G way from A-Bm merica
She had a G blind date with A4 desti-A ny
And the D sound of Te G Awa-Bm mutu
had a A4 truly sacred ring A
Now her G parents are di-D vorced
And her F# friend’s committing G suicide

I A could not es-D cape, a plea from the G heart
You know what it C means to me A
She said don’t walk a-D way, I’m down on my G knees
So please don’t be C mean to me A

So I D talked to G you for an Bm hour
In the G bar of a small town A4 hotel A
And you D asked me G what I was Bm thinking
I was A4 thinking of a padded cell A
With a G black and white D TV to F# stop us from getting G lonely

I A could not es-D cape, a plea from the G heart
You know what it C means to me A
She said don’t walk a-D way, I’m down on my G knees
So please don’t be C mean to me A

You know I could not es-D cape, a plea from the G heart
Mysterious C sympathy A
I couldn’t wait for a D chance to walk out the G door
You know what it C means to me A

Inter Bm G Bm

G I saw you lying in the arms of a poet Bm
G I heard him tell you t…t… tantalizing Bm lies
G What’d’ya know A whad’d’ya know

I could not es-D cape, you’re down on the G floor
You know what it C means to me A
I couldn’t wait for a D chance
Walk out the G door C mean… A mean…

I could not es-D cape, you’re down on your G knees
You know what it C means A … What it means D G C A …
