G Em
So here she's actin' happy
D Bm
Inside her handsome home
G D
And me, I'm flyin' in my taxi,
C Bb D
Takin' tips and gettin' stoned.
D Am
I got into town a little early.
D Am D Am
Had eight hours to kill before the show,
D Am D Am
First I thought about heading up north of the bay
C Bb D Am D Am
Then I knew where I had to go.
D Am
I thought about taking a limousine
D Am
Or at least a fancy car.
D Am
But I ended up taking a taxi
C Bb D Am D Am
'Cause that's how I got this far.
G Em7
You see, ten years ago it was the front seat
D Bm
Drivin' stoned and feelin' no pain.
G D
Now here I am straight and sittin' in the back
C Bb D Am D Am
Hitting Sixteen Parkside Lane.
E Bm7 E Bm7
The driveway was the same as I remembered
E Bm7 E Bm7
And a butler came and answered the door.
E Bm7 E Bm7
He just shook his head when I asked for her
D7 Am E
And said "She doesn't live here anymore."
E Bm7 E Bm7
But he offered to give me the address
E Bm7 E Bm7
That they were forwarding her letters to
E Bm7 E
I just took it and returned to the cabbie
Bm7 D7 Am E
And said "I got one more fare for you."
E G
And so we rolled back into the city
A C
Up to a five story old brownstone
D E
I rang the bell that had her name on the mailbox.
D7 Am E
The buzzer said somebody's home.
E G
And the look on her face as she opened the door
A C
Was like an old joke told by a friend.
D E
It'd taken ten more years but she'd found her smile
D7 Am E E7
And I watched the corners start to bend
A F#m
And she said, "How are you Harry?
A E
I said "It's so good to see you, Sue
D7 Am E
Had to play it out just once more."
D7 Am E
Play it out just once more.
E
She said I've heard you flying high on my radio
E
I answered "It's not all it seems"
E
That's when she laughed and she said, "It's better sometimes
D7 Am E
When we don't get to touch our dreams.'
