Lyrics

You saw me stand ing by the wall, side look you cor down ner of a main street,

and the lights are flash ing on your win dow sill.

All a (F)lone ain’t much fun, so you’re look ing for the thrill.

And you know just what it takes and where to go.

Don’t (D)say a prayer for me (G)now.

(F#m)Save it till the (A)morn ing af ter.

No, don’t (D)say a prayer for me (G)now.

(F#m)Save it till the (A)morn ing af ter.

Feel saw the breeze deep on the in side look you cor down ner in to your well.

If you can, you’ll see the world in all his fire.

Take a (F)chance like all dream ers can’t find an oth er way.

You don’t have to dream it all; just live a day.

Don’t (D)say a prayer for me (G)now.

(F#m)Save it till the (A)morn ing af ter.

Pret ty look ing road, I try to hold the ris ing floods that (C5)fill my skin.

Don’t ask me (F)why I’ll keep my prom ise, melt the ice.

And you want ed to dance, so I asked you to dance, but (G)fear is in your soul.

Some peo ple call it a one night stand, but we can call it par a dise.

Don’t (D)say a prayer for me (G)now.
