bass note progression.

[Verse 1]
Dm F Bbmaj7 G F
You saw me standing by the wall, corner of a main street,
Dm F Bbmaj7 G C
And the lights are flashing on your window sill,
Dm F Bbmaj7
All a - lone ain't much fun,
G F Dm
So you're looking for the thrill,
F Bbmaj7 G C
And you know just what it takes, and where to go!
[Chorus]
Bm Dmaj7 G
Don't say a prayer for me now,
F#m A Bm
Save it 'til the morning after,
Dmaj7 G
No, don't say a prayer for me now,
F#m A Dm F Bbmaj7 G F
Save it 'til the morning after--------------!

Feel the breeze deep on the inside,
G F Dm
Look you down in - to your well,
F Bbmaj7 G C
If you can, you'll see the world in all his fire,
Dm F Bbmaj7 G F Dm
Take a chance, like all dreamers, can't find no other way,
F Bbmaj7 G C
You don't have to dream it all, just live a day!

Dm F
Pretty looking road,
Bbmaj7 G F Dm
I try to hold the rising floods that fill my skin,
F Bbmaj7 G C
Don't ask me why, I'll keep my promise, melt the ice,
Dm F Bbmaj7
And you wanted to dance, so I asked you to dance,
G F Dm
But fear is in your soul,
F Bbmaj7
Some people call it a one night stand,
G C
But we can call it paradise!
[Chorus]
