[Verse]

D                     A    Bm     D
There's a sign on the cafe window
        G      A            D
It says closed please call again.
   D               A            Bm           D
If only you'd been wearing that sign on your heart,
        E7                             A7
I never would have tried to come in.

                D        A     Bm          D
I've heard that true love will make you survive
       G      A          D
When a pushin comes to a shove.
      D                A        Bm            D
But I may as well have tried to hold back the tide
      G              A        D
As to try and go and win your love.

[Chorus}
   D          A            D
So throw me a penny in the wishing well
     G           A           D
Keep knocking my fist on the wood.
    D              G             D
Sometimes I got to laugh at this funny old world,
     E7                       A7
When crying seems to do me no good.

           D             A             Bm       D
There were nights when I wander on the streets alone,
           G           A      D
I see your face in the stars above.
      D           A             G             D
But I may as well have tried to hold back the tide,
      G              A        D
As to try and go and win your love.

[Verse]
          D           A     Bm     D
There's a sign on the hotel doorway
     G       A    D
That says no vacancy.
    D       A         Bm        D
If only I'd known you felt that way,
             E7                   A7
I could have smiled and walked on by.

                D        A    Bm                D
I've heard that true love can lift you off your feet,
   G              A          D
As if you had the wings of a dove.
      D                A        Bm            D
But I may as well have tried to hold back the tide
      G              A        D
As to try and go and win your love.

[Chorus}
   D          A            D
So throw me a penny in the wishing well
     G           A             D
Keep knocking my fist from the wood.
    D              G             D
Sometimes I got to laugh at this funny old world,
     E7                       A7
When crying seems to do me no good.

           D             A             Bm       D
There were nights when I wander on the streets alone,
           G           A      D

      D           A             G             D
But I may as well have tried to hold back the tide,
      G              A        D
As to try and go and win your love.
      D           A             G             D
Yes I may as well have tried to hold back the tide,
      G              A        D
As to try and go and win your love.
