[Bm] I sit[Bm/A] on a[G] piano[D] stool and [A]I make up [A/C#]songs for [Bbdim]these men who
come in with[G] dust on their [D]faces and m[A]ud on thei[A/C#]r boots
From these [Em]places that[G] I'll never [F#]go.
[Bm] I sleep [Bm/A]in a [G]rented[D] bed with a[A] woman who[A/C#] gives me
what [Bbdim]little I get of the [G]love that we'd[D] like to i[A]magine is[A/C#] left
Of the [Em]love that we[G] never did kno[F#]w
[G] I slip out and scribble a note that [D]reads like a million [A]books
[Em]          [F#m]     [G]               ([G/f#]) [Em]                      [F#]
 It's a four cent nickel for my dime store theme, but it sure reads good

And If I could [Bm]make it work in [G]life  [D]
Like it works on [A]paper
If the l[Bb]ove that I desc[F]ribe
Could be [Gm]anything but w[A]ords
Then I would w[Bm]ipe my eyes  I'd [G]dry this ink
I'd [Bm]trade my pen in on a [G]pair of wings
And I [D]would... I would f[A]ly
If [Em]I could [G]only m[F#]ake it work in lif[Bm]e

And at the en[Bm/A]d of [G]every [D]night I add[A] up the ti[A/C#]ps that I [Bbdim]count for what might
not com[G]e down to [D]a thing tha[A]t amounts [A/C#]to a lie
And the [Em]sum of it a[G]ll I'm afrai[F#]d
[Bm] Is less then wha[Bm/A]t I k[G]now I n[D]eed to s[A]lip beneath the s[A/C#]urface of [Bbdim]my forgeries
Where I [G]buried my [D]hopes where [A]sometimes my [A/C#]dreams
Still [Em]stir me and [G]steal me awa[F#]y.
[G] And I can still hear Dineh Bikeyah[D] call just like we were[A] kids
[Em]       [F#m]         [G]       ([G/f#]) [Em]                 [F#]
I could tell you all about it in a song  But Lord I wish...

 ...that I [Bm]could make it wo[G]rk in [D]life
Like it works on [A]paper
If the l[Bb]ove that I desc[F]ribe
Could be [Gm]anything but w[A]ords
Then I would w[Bm]ipe my eyes  I'd [G]dry this ink
I'd [Bm]trade my pen in on a [G]pair of wings
And I [D]would... Fly      [A]
If [Em]I could [G]only m[F#]ake it work in lif[Bm]e   [Bm/A]          [G]              [D]
If I[A] could[A/C#] only m[G]ake it wo[Em]rk... [Bm]in life.
