[Intro]
Mr. Piano Man

[Refrain]
Play a song for us, Mr. Piano Man
Play a song for love, Mr. Piano Man
Play a song for us, Mr. Piano Man (Play it inside)
Play a song for love

[Verse 1]
Do you have a request book handy I could flip through?
"I do," he said, "My name is Rodney, good to meet you."
"What do you wanna hear tonight?", he asked me
I said, "Something I can feel inside," oh-whoa
"I got what you need, I know exactly...
Why don't we give this a try?"

[Chorus]
Play me a song about heartache
I promise I can sing every word, Mr. Piano Man
Play me a song about love lost
That's another one everyone's heard
Strike up the band (Band)
We can have the whole world singin' tonight
We can have the whole world singin' tonight
Come on, we can have the whole world singin' tonight
We can have the whole world singin' tonight (Mr. Piano Man)
[Refrain]
Play a song for us, Mr. Piano Man
Play a song for love, Mr. Piano Man
Play a song for us, Mr. Piano Man
Play a song for love, oh

[Verse 2]
He played a song filled with sadness, I believed him, oh-whoa
Each note was drippin' with madness, I could see it
We were lost in the music, everyone knew it
Truth was in the air tonight
I could see all the faces, they started to say it
Won't you please...

[Chorus]
Play me a song about heartache
I promise I can sing every word, Mr. Piano Man (Every word, yeah)
Play me a song about love lost (Love lost)
That's another one everyone's heard
Strike up the band
We can have the whole world singin' tonight
We can have the whole world singin' tonight
Come on, we can have the whole world singin' tonight (Oh)
We can have the whole world singin' tonight (Mr. Piano Man)

[Refrain]
Play a song for us, Mr. Piano Man
Play a song for love, Mr. Piano Man
Play a song for us, Mr. Piano Man
Play a song for love
[Bridge]
He was goin' for hours, people cryin' showers
No one ever really tells how it is
I sang about hopeless, 'cause everyone knows it, knows it
And it was so honest
Finally breathin' some clean air, been through it and seen that
I've witnessed all the pain, oh
And as the spotlight was fadin', he just kept on playin', oh-whoa

[Chorus]
Play me a song about heartache
I promise I can sing every word, Mr. Piano Man (I promise)
Play me a song about love lost (Song)
That's another one everyone's heard
Strike up the band
We can have the whole world singin' tonight
We can have the whole world singin' tonight
Come on, we can have the whole world singin' tonight (Yeah yeah)
We can have the whole world singin' tonight (Mr. Piano Man, oh)

[Refrain]
Play a song for us, Mr. Piano Man (Oh)
Play a song for love, Mr. Piano Man (Oh)
Play a song for us, Mr. Piano Man
Play a song for love
