C                 G               F
  Just a minute before you leave, girl

C       G                           F
 Just a minute before you touch the door

C      G                            F
  What is it that you're trying to achieve, girl?

C        G                               F
  Do you think we can talk about it some more?
[Bridge 1]
              Dm
You know, the streets are filled with vipers

       Dm
Who've lost all ray of hope

C
 You know, it ain't even safe no more

G
In the palace of the Pope
[Chorus]
C           G            F
Don't fall apart on me tonight

C            G                  F
I just don't think that I could handle it

C           G            F
Don't fall apart on me tonight

Dm                 Em
Yesterday's just a memory

  F                            C
Tomorrow is never what it's supposed to be

| G7sus4 | G7sus4    G |
And I need you, yeah
[Verse 2]
C G                         F
   Come over here from over there, girl

C G                      F
  Sit down here. You can have my chair

C   G                     F
  I can't see us goin' anywhere, girl

    C                    G                       F
The only place open is a thousand miles away and I can't take you there
[Bridge 2]
  Dm
I wish I'd have been a doctor

Dm
Maybe I'd have saved some life that had been lost

C
Maybe I'd have done some good in the world

G
 'Stead of burning every bridge I crossed
[Chorus]
C            G            F
 Don't fall apart on me tonight

I just don't think that I could handle it

Don't fall apart on me tonight

Yesterday's just a memory

Tomorrow is never what it's supposed to be

| G7sus4 | G7sus4    G |
And I need you, yeah
[Verse 3]
C   G                       F
  I ain't too good at conversation, girl

C                  G                  F
 So, you might not know exactly how I feel

    C               G                        F
But if I could, I'd bring you to the mountaintop, girl

    C                 G           F
And build you a house made out of stainless steel
[Bridge 3]
    Dm
But it's like I'm stuck inside a painting

         Dm
That's a-hanging in the Louvre

   C
My throat start to tickle and my nose itches

      G
But I know that I can't move
[Chorus]
C           G            F
Don't fall apart on me tonight

I just don't think that I could handle it

C           G            F
Don't fall apart on me tonight

Dm                       Em
Yesterday's gone but the past lives on

  F                 C
Tomorrow's just one step beyond

| G7sus4 | G7sus4  G |
And I need you, oh
[Middle 8]
Bb                           F
Who are these people who are walking towards you?

       F                            C
Do you know them or will there be a fight?

           Bb                  F
With their humorless smiles so easy to see through

         F                                 C
Can they tell you what's wrong from what's right?

   F               C
Or do you remember St. James Street

F                          C
Where you blew Jackie P.'s mind?

            F                            C
You were so fine, Clark Gable would have fell at your feet

    Bb       F           | G7sus4 | G |
And laid his life on the line
[Solo] | C G | Fadd9 | C G | Fadd9 | [Verse 4]
C       G                              F
  Let's try to get beneath the surface waste, girl

        C               G                            F
No more booby traps and bombs, No more decadence and charm

C          G                 F
 No more affection that's misplaced, girl,

C        G                               F
 No more mudcake creatures lying in your arms
[Bridge 4]
Dm
 What about that millionaire

         Dm
With the drumsticks in his pants?

             C
He looked so baffled and so bewildered

        G
When he played and we didn't dance
[Chorus]
C            G            F
 Don't fall apart on me tonight

C            G                  F
I just don't think that I could handle it

C           G            F
Don't fall apart on me tonight

Dm                 Em
Yesterday's just a memory

  F                            C
Tomorrow is never what it's supposed to be

| G7sus4 | G7sus4        G |
And I need you, yeah, oh, I need you ...
[Outro] | C G | F | C G | F |
