D
You were the woman in the blue mask
D                         G
standin there beside your dress
G                       D
All the things I wanted from you
D/F#          A7
I never could express
D
I thought I saw you once in Munich
D7               G
but you slipped away
G                          D
I'm in the corner with the coffee
D            A7   G D G D
at The Dream Cafe


[Verse 2]
D
For once I didn't say anything stupid
D                          G
my lover never once looked bored
G                                 D
And soldiers come in smeared with lipstick
D/F#                 A7
like the last day of war
D
The band divided up the money
D7                        G
but the drummer could not stay
G                          D
He said he's gonna meet us later
D            A7   G D G D
at The Dream Cafe


[Verse 3]
D
When you turned from the window
D                G
in your worn out slip
G                   D
put your eyes to my fingers
D/F#              A7
while the ceiling dripped
D
I just could not leave you
D7                        G
I heard a motorcycle pull away
G                        D
Yes, I'll meet you after midnight
D            A7   G D G D
at The Dream Cafe


[Verse 4]
D
There's flowers now on Linn Street
D                     G
and the new moon just above
G                      D
They tore down all the houses
D/F#                  A7
where we used to make love
D
But they'd been long abondoned
D7                    G
when we went there anyway
G                         D
And I can still smell the lilacs
D                          A7   G D G D
in the corner of The Dream Cafe


[Verse 5]
D
We we've only been fighting ten years
D                     G
do you really have to go?
G                 D
Couldn't you reconsider
D/F#                 A7
and do it real, real slow?
D
I like living with you
D7                    G
I don't care what you say
G            D
I don't care who you meet
D            A7   G D G D
at The Dream Cafe


[Verse 6]
D
Your eyes roll back to midnight
D              G
lost in a fantasy
G                   D
I heard you cry out someone's name
D/F#            A7
and baby it was me
D
But later as we're walkin'
D7                 G
you seemed so far away
G                D
Am I the man you thought you met
D            A7   G D G D
at The Dream Cafe?


[Verse 7]
D
I've come down with a sickness
D                      G
I thought you were the cure
G                    D
But passion seems to promise more
D/F#                  A7
than friendship can endure
D
You spelled it out in black and white
D7                    G
my eyes saw shades of gray
G             D
and, so I sit alone tonight
D            A7   G D G D
at The Dream Cafe


[Verse 8]
D
Heat lightning in the mirror
D                         G
and the thunder cries out loud
G                D
I can be to you, you could be to me
D/F#                     A7
just another face in the crowd
D
The plane don't leave 'til midnight
D7        G
come with me today
G                            D
They'll be plenty of time to be alone
D            A7   G D G D
at The Dream Cafe
