D A G D G A D [Verse] D A Bm D There's a sign on the cafe window G A D It says closed please call again. D A Bm D If only you'd been wearing that sign on your heart, E7 A7 I never would have tried to come in. D A Bm D I've heard that true love will make you survive G A D When a pushin comes to a shove. D A Bm D But I may as well have tried to hold back the tide G A D As to try and go and win your love. [Chorus} D A D So throw me a penny in the wishing well G A D Keep knocking my fist on the wood. D G D Sometimes I got to laugh at this funny old world, E7 A7 When crying seems to do me no good. D A Bm D There were nights when I wander on the streets alone, G A D I see your face in the stars above. D A G D But I may as well have tried to hold back the tide, G A D As to try and go and win your love. [Verse] D A Bm D There's a sign on the hotel doorway G A D That says no vacancy. D A Bm D If only I'd known you felt that way, E7 A7 I could have smiled and walked on by. D A Bm D I've heard that true love can lift you off your feet, G A D As if you had the wings of a dove. D A Bm D But I may as well have tried to hold back the tide G A D As to try and go and win your love. [Chorus} D A D So throw me a penny in the wishing well G A D Keep knocking my fist from the wood. D G D Sometimes I got to laugh at this funny old world, E7 A7 When crying seems to do me no good. D A Bm D There were nights when I wander on the streets alone, G A D I see your face in the stars above. D A G D But I may as well have tried to hold back the tide, G A D As to try and go and win your love. D A G D Yes I may as well have tried to hold back the tide, G A D As to try and go and win your love.
