Dm           F            A#maj7 G           F      Dm
You saw me standing by the wall corner of a main street
Dm       F                 A#maj7           G    F
And the lights are flashing on your window sill
Dm    F             A#maj7           G            F    Dm
All alone ain't much fun, so you're looking for the thrill
Dm       F                A#maj7              G F
And you know just what it takes and where to go

Chorus:
Bm    Dmaj7                G   F#m              A      Bm
Don't say a prayer for me now save it till the morning after
Bm        Dmaj7                G   F#m               A      Dm
No, don't say a prayer for me now, save it 'til the morning after

Feel the breeze deep on the inside
Look you down into your well (Do-do-do-do-do)
If you can, you'll see the world in all his fire
(Do-do-do-do-do)
Take a chance like all dreamers
You can't find another way (Do-do-do-do-do)
You don't have to dream it all
Just live a day (Do-do-do-do-do)

Chorus

Bm Dmaj7 G F#m                A      Bm
            Save it 'til the morning after
Bm Dmaj7 G F#m                A      Dm
            Save it 'til the morning after

Pretty looking road
I try to hold the rising floods that fill my skin
(Do-do-do-do-do)
Don't ask me why, I'll keep my promise
Melt the ice (Do-do-do-do-do)
And you wanted to dance
So I asked you to dance
But fear is in your soul (Do-do-do-do-do)
Some people call it a one-night stand
But we can call it paradise (Do-do-do-do-do)

Chorus

Save it 'til the morning after
Save it 'til the morning after
Save it 'til the morning after
Save it 'til the morning after

Save a prayer 'til the morning after
Save a prayer 'til the morning after
Save a prayer 'til the morning after
Save a prayer 'til the morning after
