ROY ORBISON KNOWS (THE BEST MAN'S SONG)
E A C#m F#
Well your voice grips me tight like fingers
A B E [bass run: G# A A# B] B7
Takes hold of whatever's inside
Though we try to harmonize with different singers
A B E A E E E F# F# G# G#When we're out of tune at least we'll know we tried
Baby its a hopeless feeling
DLeaves Mister Logic reeling
A EI love you I know, but what does that mean
When the only place forward is where we've just been
A AIts time to think twice, its time to decide
E G# A Bb B B7Turn and keep walking or be my bride
Or be my bride, yeah,
E Esus4 EOr be my bride
E E7 A C#m C#m Cm Bm F#Well Roy Orbison, he knows that I can't forget you
Well he told me last night at forty-five
E E7 A C#m C#m Cm Bm F#Hope this honesty doesn't honestly upset you
A B E A E E F# G# AHe said to lie is death to love - I know it's still alive, yeh
A B
Baby when the mornings breakin'
DSo many actresses 've already started fakin'
I love you I know, but its not such a big deal
C#m F#I'm gonna tape you this song on my reel to reel to reel
A A7Its time to think twice, make up your mind
Take me to the altar or leave me behind
A E Esus4 EOr leave me behind, yeah, or leave me behind
Well my memories, they lie to me just because they want to
A B E B7Well like a runaway train, you know, I have no control
E E7 A C#m C#m Cm/I'm gonna tell 'em where you live so that they can go and haunt you \Bm A B E (E7) A: E E F# G A
And take back and take back all the parts of me you stole
But I no longer feel like crying,
DMy nervous system's dying
A EI love you I know, but I'm anaesthetised
I was foolishly hopeful, now I've realised
A A7: (triplets)
It was time to think twice, you had to go
E C#mI hope that you blossom, I hope that you grow
A A7: (triplets)
Write me a postcard make it some little thing
E C#mIf you get married, I'll carry the ring
A B7If you get married introduce me to him
Introduce me to him
E A B A EIntroduce me to him
