The Diner

Intro Am  E  Am  E 
      Am  E  Am  E 

                    Dm 
Don't be afraid of me 
              E 
I'm what you need 


                    Am 
I saw you on the screens 

I know we're meant to be 
                        Dm 
You're starring in my dreams 

In magazines 
                         E 
You're looking right at me 
                      Am 
I'm here around the clock 

I'm waiting on your block 
                            Dm 
But please, don't call the cops 

They'll make me stop 
                  E 
And I just wanna talk 


                         Am 
Bet I could change your life 

You could be my wife (wife, wife) 
                  Dm 
Could get into a fight 

I'll say you're right and 
                    E 
You'll kiss me goodnight 



                 Am 
I waited on the corner 

Till I saw the sitter leave 

Was easy getting over 

When I landed on my feet 
                       Dm 
I came in through the kitchen 

Looking for something to eat 
                  E 
I left a calling card 

So they would know that it was me 

( Am  Dm  E ) 


                            Am 
I tried to save you, but I failed 

Two-fifty-thousand-dollar bail 

(Two hundred fifty thousand dollars) 
                               Dm 
While I'm away, don't read my mail 

(Don't read my mail) 

Just bring a veil 

(Just bring a veil) 
                      E 
And come visit me in jail 

(Visit me in jail) 


                     Am 
I'll go back to the diner 

I'll write another letter 

(I'll write another letter) 
                        Dm 
I hope you'll read it this time 

(This time) 
     E 
You better 


                     Am 
The cops around the corner 

Stopped me when I tried to leave 

They told me I was crazy and 

They knocked me off my feet 
                          Dm 
They came in through the kitchen 

Looking for something discrete 
                  E 
I left a calling card 

So that they would know that it was me 

( Am  Dm  E ) 

(Know that it was me) 


                  Am 
I memorized your number 

Now I call you when I please 

I tried to end it all 

But now I'm back up on my feet 
                  Dm 
I saw you in the car with someone else 

And couldn't sleep 
                      E 
If something happens to him 

You can bet that it was me
