Eb                       Ab               Eb                     
  tell me, baby, tell me-ee     are you still on the stoop   
                  Ab
watching the wind-ows close?        
Eb                           Ab               Eb                   
  i've not seen you lately – yy      on the street by the beach    
                     Ab
or places we used to-oo go 

 
       Eb                         F                         Ab
i've a picture of you    on our f-ay-vorite day    by the  sea  side 
           Eb                            F                          Ab
there's a bird stealing bread    that i brought  out from under my nose 

Eb                        Ab              Eb
   tell me, baby, tell me-ee   does his company make 
                 Ab
light of a rainy-yy day? 
Eb                           Ab           Eb 
  how i've missed you lately-yy   and the way we would speak     
                     Ab
and all that we wouldn't say 

       Eb                           F                           Ab
Do his hands in your hair    feel a lot like a thing     you believe in 
      Eb                           F                          Ab
 or a bit like a bird     stealing bread out from under your nose? 

Eb*                       Ab*           Eb*         
  tell me, baby, tell me-eeee   do you carry the words    
                   Ab*  
around like a key or change? 
Eb*                         Ab*           Eb*
  i've been thinking lately-yyy    of a night on the stoop    and all that 
        Ab*
we wouldn't say 

     Eb                       F                           Ab
if i see you again    on the street by the beach   in the evening 
         Eb                         F                       Ab
will you fly like a bird   stealing bread out from under my nose?
