[D] [Am]
[Bm] [Am] [Bb]
[Am] [Bb] [D]
[G] [Gm] I feel a trembling [A] tingle of a sleepless night
[C] Creep [D] through my fingers [G] and the moon is bright
[C]
[G] Beams of blue come flickering [Am] through my windowpane
[C] Like gypsy [D]
maws that [G] dance around a candle [C] flame
[G] And I wonder [Am] if you know
That [D] I never [G] understood
That [Em]
although [Am] you said you'd go
[C] Until you did, [D] I never thought [G] you would
[Am]
[D] [Em]
[Dm] [Am] [Bb] [Am]
[Bb] [Am] [D]
[G]
Moonlight used [E] to bathe the [Am] contours of your face
[C] And wild [D] chestnut hair fell all [G] around the pillowcase
[C] [G] And the fragrance of your flowers [Am]
rest beneath my hair
[Em] [C]
A sympathy [D] bouquet left with [G] a love that's [C] dead
[G] And I wonder [Am] if you know
That [D] I never [G] understood
[D]
That [Em] although you said [Am] you'd go
[C] Until you did, [D] I never thought you [G] would
Never thought the words you [Em] said were true
[Gb] [A]
Never [C] thought you said just [Gb] what you [Bm] meant
[D]
[G] Never [Bm] knew how much [Em] I needed [C] you
[Em] [Am]
[C] Never thought you'd
[D] leave [G]
until you went
[Am] Morning
[D] [Am] [Bm]
[Am] [E]
[D] [G]
comes and morning [Am] goes with no [Em] regret
[C] And [D] evening brings the memories [G] I can't [C] forget
[G] Empty rooms that echo as I [Am] climb the stairs
[Em] [C] And empty [D] clothes that drape and fall [G] on empty [C] chairs
[G] [Bm] And I [E] wonder [Am] if you know
[D] That I never [G] understood
[D]
That [Em] although you said [Am] you'd go
[C]
Until you did, [D] I never thought you [G] would
