A Thousand And One Nights

	  		
Verse 

Db 
I know a thousand tales 
      Cm 
To fill a thousand nights 
 Eb Bb                 Eb       Ab 
But now another story comes to mind 
        Db 
A nobel young vizier 
        Fm 
Ascends to wondrous heights 
         Bb                   Db 
He's brilliant as he's handsome 
        Eb 
And handsome as he's kind 


Pre-Chorus 


Db  Cm  Db 
He is at once familiar and unknowable 
        Bbm    Eb                     Ab 
To the frightened girl he meets along the way 
        Db  
And to the girl's surprise 
Cm                       Fm 
Something in his eyes 
Db      Ab       F#                    Ab 
 Beckons her to know him and inspires her to say 




Db 
I want to know your story 
Bbm 
I want to know your past 
F#      F            Bbm 
So tell me slowly from the start 
Ab                  Eb 
Leave out no detail 
F#                  Ab 
Savour every part 

Db 
I want to know your story 
Bbm 
So make the story last 
F#                             F             Bbm 
I want to know each twist and turn 
Ab                      Eb 
Tell me all I've missed 
Ebm     Ab 
I've so much to learn 

F#      Ab 
For when it comes to stories  
Db      Bbm 
I thought I knew them all 
F# 
But now I'm face to face with one 
F 
I can't seem to recall 
 


verse 2 

The young vizier had come 
Em 
To help inspire change 
Dm      C 
But fate has planned an unexpected twist 
        F 
Within the palace walls 
        E       A 
He discoveres something strange 
        D                       F 
And found a missing part of him 
G 
He didn't know he missed 


Pre-Chorus 


Em      F 
She's at once a comfort and a mystery 
Dm      G       C 
To the callow man she meets that fateful day 
F       G 
She's beautiful and wise 
Em      C 
And something in her eyes 
Dm      Bb                         C           Cm 
 Beckons him to know her and inspires him to say 



F 
I want to know your story 
C 
I want to know your past 
Bb                              A      Dm 
I want to know your future too 
C       G 
Fill my days and nights 
Bb      C                Gm 
With the tale of you 

F 
I want to know your story 
(I want to know your story)  

So make the story last 
(So make the story last) 
Bb      A       Dm 
And linger over every part 
F       Gm 
Tell it till I know  
Bb      C 
every bit by heart  


Bb      F       C       Dm 
I never cared for stories until you entered mine  
Bb 
And now my only wish is that 
Am 
Our plots may intertwine 


verse 3 

        G       A 
But I forget what happens next 
F 
I'm not sure I understand 
D 
Remind me how she answers 
C       Gm 
When he asks her for her hand 


Dm      G 
 A thousand and one nights with you 
    C   F 
Is not enough to spend 
A       Dm     Bb 
So let's make ours a story with no end 
Gm      C       Ab 
 So let's make ours a story with no end
