*CAPO 1st FRET*
(Original Key: C#)
Chorus 1:
Dm7/G Cadd9 Cmaj7 Fadd9
Touch me in the mor -ning,
Dm7 Cadd9 Cmaj7
Then just walk a-way.
Dm7 Cadd9 Cmaj7 F
We don't have to-mor -row,
Fadd9 F Bb Dm7/G
But we had yester-day.
Verse 1:
C Cmaj7 C7
Hey... wasn't it me who said,
Fmaj7 Dm7 Dm/G
That nothing good's gonna last for-ever?
C Cmaj7 C7
And wasn't it me who said,
Fmaj7 F6
Let's just be glad for the time to-gether?
Bridge 1:
G/B
It must've been hard to tell me,
Bb
That you've given all you had to give.
G/B Bb
I can understand you're feeling that way;
Everybody's got their life to live.
Break:
Fmaj7 G/B Em7 Am7 G
Well, I can say goodbye, in the cold morning light.
Fmaj7 G/B Em7 Am7 G
But I can't watch love die, in the warmth of the night.
F E7 Am
If I've got to be strong,
Am/G F E7 Am
Don't you know I need to have to-night when you're gone?
Am/G F Em7
'Till you're gone, I need to lie here,
G/F Dm7
And think about the last time that you'll...
Chorus 2:
Dm7/G Cadd9 Cmaj7 Fadd9
Touch me in the mor -ning,
Dm7 Cadd9 Cmaj7
Then just close the door.
Dm7 Cadd9 Cmaj7
Leave me as you found me,
F Fadd9 F Bb Dm7/G
Empty like be-fore...
Verse 2:
C Cmaj7 C7
Hey... wasn't it yester-day,
F Dm7 Dm7/G
We used to laugh at the wind be-hind us?
C Cmaj7 C7
Didn't we run a-way,
Fmaj7 F6
And hope that time wouldn't try to find us?
Bridge 1:
G/B
Didn't we take each other,
Bb
To a place where no one's ever been?
G/B Bb
Yeah, I really need you near me to-night,
'Cos you'll never take me there again.
Break:
Fmaj7 G/B Em7 Am7 G
Let me watch you go, with the sun in my eyes.
Fmaj7 G/B Em7 Am7 G
We've seen how love can grow, now we'll see how it dies.
F E7 Am
If I've got to be strong,
Am/G F E7 Am
Don't you know I need to have to-night when you're gone?
F
'Till you're gone, I need to hold you,
G/F Dm7 G7
Until the time your hands reach out, and...
Chorus 3:
Dm7 Cadd9 Cmaj7 C7 Fmaj7
Touch me in the mor -ning,
Dm7 Dm/G Cadd9 Cmaj7 C7 Fmaj7
Then just walk a-way.
Dm7 Dm/G Cadd9 Cmaj7 C7 Fmaj7
We don't have to-mor -row,
Bb Dm7/G
But we had yester-day...
