Intro: Bm

                   Em
Don't be afraid of me
             Gb7
I'm what you need

Verse 1:
                 Bm
I saw you on the screens

I know we're meant to be
                      Em
You're starrin' in my dreams

In magazines
                        Gb7
You're lookin' right at me (You're lookin' right at me)
                    Bm
I'm here around the clock

I'm waitin' on your block (I'm waitin' on your block)
                          Em
But please don't call the cops

They'll make me stop
                 Gb7
And I just wanna talk (I just wanna talk)

Pre-chorus:
                        Bm
Bet I could change your life

You could be my wife (Wife, wife)
                 Em
Could get into a fight (Fight)

I'll say "You're right"
                       Gb7
And you'll kiss me goodnight

Chorus:
                Bm
I waited on the corner 'til I saw the sitter leave

Was easy getting over and I landed on my feet
                      Em
I came in through the kitchen lookin' for something to eat
                 Gb7
I left a calling card so they would know that it was me

Post-chorus:
Bm      Em   Gb7
  (Ah, ah, ah)

Verse 2:
                           Bm
I tried to save you, but I failed

Two fifty thousand dollar bail (Two hundred fifty thousand dollar)
                              Em
While I'm away, don't read my mail (Don't read my mail)

Just bring a veil (Just bring a veil)
                     Gb7
And come visit me in jail (Visit me in jail)

Pre-chorus:
                    Bm
I'll go back to the diner

I'll write another letter (I'll write another letter)
                      Em
I hope you'll read it this time
    Gb7
You better

Chorus:
                    Bm
The cops around the corner stopped me when I tried to leave

They told me I was crazy and they knocked me off my feet (They told me I was crazy)
                         Em
They came in through the kitchen looking for something discrete
                 Gb7
I left a calling card so that they would know that it was me

Post-chorus:
Bm       Em             Gb7
  (Ah, ah, know that it was me)

Verse 3:
                 Bm
I memorized your number, now I call you when I please

I tried to end it all, but now I'm back up on my feet
                 Em
I saw you in the car with someone else and couldn't sleep
                                     Gb7
If something happens to him, you can bet that it was me
