Put a half a case away

But you know baby the leading lady looked

too much like you for the likes of me.

And, I woke up crying in my sleep

I was talking to your pillow
Cm Gm G# Gm
And I reached out to touch your hand

And knocked the phone off the nightstand

And the operator said, "May I help you please?"

No thanks baby there's nothing you can really do for me

Some how I wound up at the rainbow bar

quite worth the time it took.
