Capo II
Amaj7=x02120 
E (022100 to 021100 - bar fret 1 with index finger)

Intro:  A7 E  
A7                 E
Tell me baby, tell me
Are you still on the stoop watching the windows close?
I've not seen you lately 
On the street by the beach or places we used to go

I've a (A)picture of you on our (B)favorite day by the (E)seaside
There's a (A)bird stealing bread that I (B)brought out from under my (E)nose

A7                 E
Tell me baby, tell me
Does his company make light of a rainy day
How I've missed you lately
And the way you would speak, and all that we wouldn't say

Do his (A)hand in your hair feel a (B)lot like a thing you believe (E)in
Or a (A)bit like a bird stealing (B)bread out from under your (E)nose?

[lead, w descending scales)

Tell me baby, tell me
Do you carry the words around like a key or change
I've been thinking lately
Of a night on the stoop and all that we wouldn't say

If I see you again on the street by the beach in the evening
Will you fly like a bird stealing bread out from under my nose?
