You think the love
you nev er had might (F)save you,
but (C)true
love
(Am7)takes
a lit tle (Dm7)time.
You can touch it with your fin gers
and (Am7)try to be lieve your eyes.
Is it love or lies?
So you’re (Am7)keep ing your dis tance,
a lit tle bit of (G)room a (C)round you.
But if he doesn n’t re turn your call on time,
oh, my, my,
you just act like a fool on a hol i day.
There’s (Am7)noth ing that you would n’t try.
You must be a (F)pris ’ner in dis (C)guise.
Well, this (G)night life
is (G)my life,
but there’s one else in it,
and some times those (Bb9)lone some breez es blow.
Well, it’s (G)no show
so you (G)might as well go
if you think you could win it
with out (Dm7)los
in’
and let tin’ it show.
This cit y is no place to hide in; (Ebmaj7)ev ’ry bod y knows your num ber,
and you know that you could (Dm7)nev er be a lone
if you tried.
You just run like a man with no rea son to run
and (Am7)no place to ev er ar rive.
(CN.C.)You must be a (F)pris ’ner,
you (C)look just like
a (F)pris ’ner;
well, (C)you must (Dm7)be a (F)pris ’ner
in dis (C)guise.
