Lyrics

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.
