Verse 1:
C*
You're a late night conversation,
C*
A augmentedA telephone call and an inspiration,

For a heart to recall . . . how to tumble and fall.

Verse 2:
C*
And my friends all say I'm lazy,

I'm clumsy at love and I'm middle aged-crazy,

I stumble along . . . with a tumble and fall.


Chorus:
DmDm     G+G
Maybe I'll come back to my senses,
  C majorC      G+G       A minorAm
And come back to you where the fences are mended,
DmDm              G+G
Maybe love is a quite whisper after all,
C*                  C*
Maybe love is a heart that gives you harmony,

When you can't recall the melody to the song,

You're just singin' along,

I remember San Francisco,

And the beat of your heart . . . to a tumble and fall,

Verse 4:

You say, I'm a little somethin' you've always needed,

You're tried and true and I should believe in,

The strength of your arms . . . when I tumble and fall.
