-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Each chord is one measure; tablature for the instrumental bits is
at the end.]
Am[intAmro: CinsCtruDmenDtalAm #1]Am
Am Last night I Amdreamed you were Cback agCain
F Larger than Clife again, Cholding me tAmight again Am
Am Placing those Amsame kisses oCn my Cbrow
F Sweeter than Cever now, Clord I reAmmember how
C Couldn't get eCnough of kissing,Am do you know how mAmuch you're missing
CNo you don't,C but I Ddo D
Am[insAmtrumAmentaAml #2]
The days like a slow train trickle by
And even the words that I write refuse to fly
All I can hear is your song haunting me
Can't get the melody out of my head, you see
Distractions I've been using, do you know how much you're losing
No you don't, but I do
Am[insAmtrumental #3]
But I Cdo, and I Cwonder if I'm Fpast the point of rCescue
FIs no word from Cyou at all the Ambest that you cCan do
C I never meant to Cpush or shove you,Am do you know how mAmuch I love you
CNo you don't,C but I Ddo D
Am[insAmtrumCentCal D#1,D saAmme aAms intro]
I swore I'd never fall like this again
Fools like me never win, came to my knees again
Can't close the door on the likelihood
Things might be just as good, I always believed they would
Gotta let your love invite me, baby do you think it might be
No you don't, but I do
[instrumental #3]
But I do, and I wonder if I'm past the point of rescue
Is no word from you at all the best that you can do
I never meant to push or shove you, do you know how much I love you
No you don't, but I do
[instrumental #3]
But I do, and I wonder if I'm past the point of rescue
Is no word from you at all the best that you can do
I never meant to push or shove you, do you know how much I love you
No you don't, but I do
I know you don't, but I do
I know you don't, but I do
