Sometimes a Fantasy from Billy Joel's 1980 album, Glass Houses. [Intro] A D x2 [Verse 1]
D                                    A         
I didn't want to do it but I got too lonely

D                                         A 
I had to call you up in the middle of the night

G                                               D
I know it's awful hard to try to make love long distance

C                   Em
But I really needed stimulation

G                         A  G/B A/C#
Though it was only my ima-gin-at-ion
[Chorus]
D    A         Bm
It's just a fantasy

It's not the real thing

[Verse 2]
D                                              A     
When am I gonna take control get a hold of my emotions

D                                                    A
Why does it only seem to hit me in the middle of the night

G                                                    D
You told me there's a number I can always dial for assistance

C                         Em
I don't want to deal with outside action

G                       A G/B A/C#
Only you can give me satisfaction
[Chorus]

D                                            A    
Sure it would be better if I had you here to hold me

D                                                A
Be better baby but believe me it's the next best thing

G                                                          D
I'm sure there's many times you've wanted me to hear your secrets

C                          Em
Don't be afraid to say the words that move me

G                        A    G/B A/C#
Anytime you want to tell them to  me
