A Thousand And One Nights

[First Part]

   Db                       Cm
I know a thousand tales to fill a thousand nights
    Bbm          Eb             Ab
But now another story comes to mind
   Ab            Db     C                  Fm
A noble, young vizier ascends to wondrous heights
       Bb7               Db                            Eb
He's brilliant as he's handsome, and handsome as he's kind

[Pre-Chorus]

   Cm                         Db
He is at once familiar and unknowable
          Bbm7             Eb             Ab
To the frightened girl he meets along the way
    Db              Eb        Cm              Fm
And to the girl's surprise, something in his eyes
  Bbm                          Gb           Ab
Beckons her to know him and inspires her to say

[Chorus]

  Db
I want to know your story
  Bbm
I want to know your past
    Gb             F        Bbm
So tell me slowly from the start
          Ab    Ebm
Leave out no detail
 Ebm    Gb    Ab
Savour every part

   Db
I want to know your story
    Bbm
So make the story last
   Gb                F7        Bbm
I want to know each twist and turn
Bbm               Ebm
Tell me all I've missed
Ebm     Bbm       Ab
I've so much to learn

Continues after the ad
     Gb                Ab
For when it comes to stories
    Db                Bbm
I thought I knew them all
 Gb
Now I'm face to face with one
   Bbm            F
I can't seem to recall

[Second Part]

      F                       Em7
The young vizier had come to help inspire change
     Dm7                    G        C
But fate had planned an unexpected twist
  C                 F          E                   Am
Within the palace walls he discovered something strange
      D                F                              G
And found the missing part of him he didn't know he missed

[Pre-Chorus]

    Em7                          F
She is at once a comfort and a mystery
        Dm7            G7                 C
To the callow man she meets that fateful day
         F           G            Em            Am7
She's beautiful and wise, and something in her eyes
   Dm                          Bb            C
Beckons him to know her and inspires him to say

[Chorus]

   F
I want to know your story
   Dm
I want to know your past
   Bb                 A7    Dm
I want to know your future too
 Dm               Gm7
Fill my days and nights
          Bb      C
With the tale of you

   F
I want to know your story

(I want to know your story)
    Dm
So make the story last

(So make the story...)

      Bb           A7    Dm
And linger on for every part
 Dm             Gm
Tell it till I know
       Bb      C
Every bit by heart

   Bb               C
I never cared for stories
   F         C     Bb
Until you entered mine

     Bb
And now my only wish is that
     Dm              A
Our plots may intertwine

[Third Part]

    A
But I forget what happens next
         F
I'm not sure I understand
   Dm
Remind me how she answers
         C                D
When he asks her for her hand?

    Dm               G                 C              F
A thousand and one nights with you is not enough to spend
    A                  Dm   Bb      Gm
So let's make ours a story with no end
    Gm                 C            F
So let's make ours a story with no end
