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