Eb                           Ab               Eb

   tell me, baby, tell me-ee   does his company make 
                 Ab
light of a rainy-yy day? 
Eb                           Ab           Eb

       Eb                           F                           Ab
Do his hands in your hair    feel a lot like a thing     you believe in 
      Eb                           F                          Ab

around like a key or change? 
Eb*                         Ab*           Eb*
  i've been thinking lately-yyy    of a night on the stoop    and all that 
        Ab*
we wouldn't say 

     Eb                       F                           Ab
if i see you again    on the street by the beach   in the evening 
         Eb                         F                       Ab
