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