[INTRO]

Em  Em  D  D  A  A  Em  Em
(instrumental #1)

Em             Em               D      D
  Last night I dreamed you were back again
C             G           D           Em         Em
  Larger than life again, holding me tight again
Em              Em           D    D
  Placing those same kisses on my brow
C              G         D        Em
  Sweeter than ever now, lord I remember how
D               D                Em                Em
  Couldn't get enough of kissing, do you know how much you're missing
  D            D      A  A
  No you don't, but I do

Em  Em  Em  Em
(instrumental #2)

Em                Em         D       D
  The days like a slow train trickle by
C              G            D     Em        Em
  And even the words that I write refuse to fly
Em               Em           D        D
  All I can hear is your song haunting me
C               G                D     Em
  Can't get the melody out of my head, you see
D                   D           Em              Em
  Distractions I've been using, do you know how much you're losing
  D            D      A  A
  No you don't, but I do

Em  Em
(instrumental #3)

      G         G             C                  G
But I do, and I wonder if I'm past the point of rescue
C               G              Em             D
Is no word from you at all the best that you can do
D                  D                 Em                Em
  I never meant to push or shove you, do you know how much I love you
D            D      A  A
No you don't, but I do

Em  Em  D  D  A  A  Em  Em
(instrumental #1)

Em                  Em        D       D
  I swore I'd never fall like this again
C               G          D          Em     Em
  Fools like me never win, came to my knees again
Em                Em          D       D
  Can't close the door on the likelihood
C                 G             D        Em            Em
  Things might be just as good, I always believed they would
D                     D          Em                Em
  Gotta let your love invite me, baby do you think it might be
D            D      A  A
No you don't, but I do

Em  Em
(instrumental #3)

        G         G             C                  G
But I do, and I wonder if I'm past the point of rescue
C               G              Em             D
Is no word from you at all the best that you can do
D                  D                 Em                Em
  I never meant to push or shove you, do you know how much I love you
D            D      A  A
No you don't, but I do

But I do, and I wonder if I'm past the point of rescue
C               G              Em             D
Is no word from you at all the best that you can do
D                  D                 Em                Em
  I never meant to push or shove you, do you know how much I love you

No you don't, but I do
