D                     |G  
  I was having this discussion 

     A           |D       |G A| 
In a taxi heading downtown 

D                 |G  
  Rearranging my position 

        A     
On this friend of mine who had 

                 |D        | 
A little bit of a breakdown 

G A       |D      
    I said   breakdowns come 

   |G          A 
And breakdowns go 

  |D        
So   what are you going to do about it 

           |G           A   | 
That's what I'd like to know 


D                          G 
  You don't feel you could love me 

      A       |D    |G A| 
But I feel you could 


D                            |G  
  It was in the early morning hours 

       A          |D         |G A| 
When I fell into a phone call 

D                             |G  
  Believing I had supernatural powers 

  A             |D         | 
I slammed into a brick wall 

G A       |D                         | 
    I said   hey, is this my problem? 

G            A 
  Is this my fault? 

  |D        
If that's the way it's going to be 

                     |G                A   | 
I'm going to call the whole thing to a halt 



D                          G 
  You don't feel you could love me 

      A       |D    |G A| 
But I feel you could 

D                          G 
  You don't feel you could love me 

      A       |D    |G A| 
But I feel you could 


D                       |G  
  I was walking down the street 

       A                   |D        |G A| 
When I thought I heard this voice say 

D                               |G             A 
  Say, ain't we walking down the same street together 

           |D       | 
On the very same day 

G A       |D             |G 
    I said   hey Señorita   that's astute 

A     |D 
I said   why don't we get together 

   |G                 A        | 
And call ourselves an institute 


D                          G 
  You don't feel you could love me 

      A       |D    |G A| 
But I feel you could 

D                          G 
  You don't feel you could love me 

      A       |D    |G A| 
But I feel you could 


D |G A|D |G A|D |G A|D |G A|D |G A|

D                     |G  
  I was having this discussion 

     A           |D       |G A| 
In a taxi heading downtown...
