🎶 THE DINER

Don't be afraid of [D#]me
I'm what you [Gb7]need
I saw you on the [A#m]screens
I know we're meant to be
You're starrin' in my [D#]dreams
In magazines

You're lookin' right at [Gb7]me -You're lookin' right at me-
I'm here around the [A#m]clock
I'm waitin' on your block -I'm waitin' on your block-
But please don't call the [D#]cops
They'll make me stop
And I just wanna [Gb7]talk -I just wanna talk-

Bet I could change your [A#m]life
You could be my wife -Wife, wife-
Could get into a [D#]fight -Fight-
I'll say "You're right"
And you'll kiss me [Gb7]goodnight

I waited on the [A#m]corner 'til I saw the sitter leave
Was easy getting over and I landed on my feet
I came in through the [D#]kitchen lookin' for something to eat
I left a calling [Gb7]card so they would know that it was me
[A#m]Ah, [D#]ah, [Gb7]ah

I tried to save you, but I [A#m]failed
Two fifty thousand dollar bail -Two hundred fifty thousand dollar-
While I'm away, don't read my [D#]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-

I'll go back to the [A#m]diner
I'll write another letter -I'll write another letter-
I hope you'll read it [D#]this time
You [Gb7]better

The cops around the [A#m]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 [D#]kitchen looking for something discrete
I left a calling [Gb7]card so that they would know that it was me
[A#m]Ah, [D#]ah, know that it [Gb7]was me

I memorized your [A#m]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 [D#]car with someone else and couldn't sleep
If something happens to him, you can [Gb7]bet that it was me⠀
