C          Em                  F 
    Just a minute 'fore you leave, girl, 
C          Em                     F 
    just a minute 'fore you touch the door. 
C       Em                           F 
    What is it that you tryin' to achieve, girl? 
C          Em                           F 
    Do you think we can talk about it some more? 
                  Dm 
    You know, the streets are filled with vipers, 
           Dm 
    who lost all ray of hope, 
     G 
    you know, it not even safe no more 
    G7 
    in the palace of the pope. 
C              Em          F    C             Em               F 
    Don fall apart on me tonight,  I just don think that I can handle it. 
C          Em          F      Dm               Em 
Don fall apart on me tonight, yesterday just a memory, 
  F                       G         G7 
tomorrow never what it supposed to be, and I need you, yeah. 
C   Em                          F 
    Come over here from over there, girl, 
C   Em                    F 
    sit down here, you can have my chair. 
C     Em                    F 
    I can see us goin anywhere, girl, 
        C                 Em                            F 
    the only place open is a 1000 miles away and I can take you there. 
      Dm 
    I wish that I been a doctor, 
    Dm 
    maybe I saved some life that been lost, 
G 
    maybe I done some good in the world 
G7 
    'stead of burnin every bridge I crossed. 

C     Em                   F 
    I ain't too good at conversation, girl, 
C                  Em          F 
    so you might not know exactly how I feel. 
        C                     Em                  F 
    But if I could, I bring you to the mountain top, girl, 
C       Em                         F 
    and build you a house made out of stainless steel. 
      Dm 
    But it like I stuck inside this painting, 
            Dm 
    that a-hangin in the Louvre, 
         G 
    my throat starts to tickle and my nose itches, 
           G7 
    but I know that I can move. 
C              Em          F 
    Don fall apart on me tonight, 

C            Em                F 
 I just don think that I could handle it, 
  C        Em          F 
don fall apart on me tonight. 
Dm             Em 
    yesterday gone, but the past lives on. 
F                    G               G7 
    tomorrow's just one step beyond, and I need you, yeah. 
     F                        C 
    Who are these people that are walkin towards you ? 
            F                       C 
    Do you know them, or will there be a fight? 
               F                C 
    With their humorless smiles so easy to see through, 
             F                           C 
    can they tell you what wrong from what right ? 
       F           C 
    Or do you remember St. James St. 
     F                       C 
    where you blew Jackie P.'s mind, 
           F                          C 
    he was so fine, Clark Gable would have fell at your feet 
        F                  G               G7 
    and laid his life on the         line 

( C Em F ) (2x) 

C         Em                          F 
    Let's try to get beneath the surface waste, girl, 
            C                 Em                F 
    no more booby traps and bombs,      no more decadence and charms, 
    C       Em               F 
    no more affection that misplaced, girl, 
C           Em                  F 
    no more mud-caked creatures lyin in your arms. 
Dm 
     What about that millionaire 
             Dm 
    with the drumsticks in his pants, 
                G 
    he looked so baffled and so bewildered, 
            G7 
    when he played and we didn dance. 
C              Em          F 
    Don fall apart on me tonight, 
C     Em                        F 
    I just don think that I can handle it. 
  C             Em                F 
Don fall apart on me tonight, 
 Dm               Em 
yesterday just a memory, 
  F                        G 
tomorrow never what it supposed to be, 
      G7               G          G7 
and I need you, yeah, you, ah, I need you!
