[VERSE 1:]
                        F
It is said that all the good things 
     C               F
Must come to him who can pretend 
   C               G
He doesn't have to wait 
       C             F
For as surely as the light of day 
     C                 F
Must come to drive the night away 
    C               G
The needles and the pins 
                        C
That's where the line begins


[CHORUS:]
             F           G
With your magnificent outpouring 
        C            F
Of that old familiar story 
            C              G
That's been used a million times 
   F              C
To ease a million minds

[VERSE 2:]
                            F
There are times when I have told you 
C                  F
That there must be two of us 
   C                  G
To try to work things out 
       C               F
But if I can't see you every day 
     C              F
Then I must hide my thoughts away 
    C              G
And see you when I can 
                C
And try to understand


[CHORUS:]
             F           G
With your magnificent outpouring 
        C            F
Of that old familiar story 
            C              G
That's been used a million times 
   F              C
To ease a million minds


[INSTRUMENTAL:] C  F  G  C  Am  F  C G C


[VERSE 3:]
                          F         C
So, then let us treat our love like any game 
   F                    C           G
To fan the flames would really be a sin 
       C             F
For as surely as the snow must fall 
  C                F
I shall be waiting for your call 
   C             G
Pretending it is spring 
                    C
And you'll be mine again


[CHORUS:]
             F           G
With your magnificent outpouring 
        C            F
Of that old familiar story 
            C              G
That's been used a million times 
   F              C
To ease a million minds


[CHORUS:]
             F           G
With your magnificent outpouring 
        C            F
Of that old familiar story 
            C              G
That's been used a million times 
   F              C
To ease a million minds
