      Intro: C, G, C

C                    G 
tell me, baby, tell me,
        C                                       G       C
are you still on the stoop watching the windows close?
                       G
i've not seen you lately 
       C                                        G
on the street by the beach or places we used to go 


       C                     D                   G
i've a picture of you on our favorite day by the seaside 
          C                          D                         G
there's a bird stealing bread that i brought out from under my nose?

verse two: (same chords as above)
tell me, baby, tell me 
does his company make light of a rainy day? 
how i've missed you lately 
and the way we would speak and all that we wouldn't say 

do his hands in your hair feel a lot like a thing you believe in?
or a bit like a bird stealing bread out from under your nose? 

verse three: (same chords as above)
tell me, baby, tell me 
do you carry the words around like a key or change? 
i've been thinking lately 
of a night on the stoop and all that we wouldn't say 

if i see you again on the street by the beach in the evening 
will you fly like a bird stealing bread out from under my nose?
