(Cmaj7)Rik ki, don’t lose that num ber; it’s the (Em)on ly one you own.
You might (Cmaj7)use it if you feel (D)bet (A)ter

I have a (A)friend in town, he’s heard your (E)name.
I We can go out (A)driv ing on had Slow Hand (E)Row.
I We could stay in (A)side and play games you I don’t know.
And you could have a (A)change of heart.
