G Asus2 Am
I feel the trembling tingle of a sleepless night
C D7 G
Creep through my fingers and the moon is bright
G G7M G6 Asus2 Am
Beams of blue come flickering through my window pane
C D7 G
Like gypsy moths that dance around a candle flame
G Asus2 Am
And I wonder if you know
Cadd9 D7 G
That I never understood
Em Am7
That although you said you'd go
C D7 G G7M G6 Am7 Asus4
Until you did I never thought you would
G Asus2 Am
Moonlight used to bathe the contours of your face
C D7 G
While chestnut hair fell all around the pillow case
G G7M G6 Am Asus2 Am
And the fragrance of your flowers rest beneath my head
C D7 G
A sympathy bouquet left with the love that's dead
G Asus2 Am
And I wonder if you know
Cadd9 D7 G
That I never understood
Em Am7
That although you said you'd go
C D7 G G7M G6
Until you did I never thought you would
Asus4 Em G Am7
Never thought the words you said were true
D6 G D6 C Am7 Am C
Never thought you said just what you meant
Dsus2 D G G7M G6 Am7
Never knew how much I needed you
D C D6 Am D6
Never thought you'd leave, until you went
G Asus2 Am
Morning comes and morning goes with no regret
C D7 G
And evening brings the memories I can't forget
G G7M G6 Am Asus2
Empty rooms that echo as I climb the stairs
C D7 G
And empty clothes that drape and fall on empty chairs
G Asus2 Am
And I wonder if you know
Cadd9 D7 G
That I never understood
Em Am7
That although you said you'd go
C D7 G G7M G6
Until you did I never thought you would
Am Asus4 D7 E7 C D C D C D G
