*CAPO 1st FRET*

(Original Key: C#)


Chorus 1:

Dm7              C   Cmaj7  F
 Touch me in the mor-ning,
Dm7               C    Cmaj7
 Then just walk a-way.
Dm7              C    Cmaj7  F
 We don't have to-mor-row,
                  Bb   G
But we had yester-day.

Verse 1:

C
 Hey...
          Cmaj7
Wasn't it me who said,
             F
That nothing good's,
               Dm7
Gonna last for-ever?
C              Cmaj7
 And wasn't it me who said,
              F
Let's just be glad,
                Dm7
For the time to-gether?

Bridge 1:

G
 It must've been hard,
To tell me,
Bb
 That you've given,
All you had to give.
G
 I can understand,
                    Bb
You're feeling that way,
Everybody's got,
Their life to live.

Break:

      F      G
Well,  I can say goodbye,
       Em           Am
In the cold morning light.
F            G
 But I can't watch love die,
       Em            Am
In the warmth of the night.

F        Em        Am
 If I've got to be strong,
Don't you know I need to,
F        Em
 Have to-night,
            Am
When you're gone?
'Till you're gone,
       F
I need to,
         Em7
Lie here,
And think about,
Dm7
 The last time,
That you'll;

Chorus 2:

G7               C   Cmaj7  F
 Touch me in the mor-ning,
Dm7                  C    Cmaj7
 Then just close the door.
Dm7              C     Cmaj7
 Leave me as you found me,
F              Bb    G
 Empty like be-fore...

Verse 2:

C
 Hey...
          Cmaj7
Wasn't it yesterday,
           F
We used to laugh,
At the wind,
   Dm7
Be-hind us?
C          Cmaj7
 Didn't we run away,
And hope that,
F
 Time wouldn't try,
   Dm7
To find us?

Bridge 1:

G
 Didn't we,
Take each other,
Bb
 To a place where,
No one's ever been?
G
 Yeah, I really need you,
Near me tonight,
Bb
 'Cos you'll never,
Take me there again.

Break:

F       G
 Let me watch you go,
         Em        Am
With the sun in my eyes.
F
 We've seen how,
G
 Love can grow,
          Em         Am
Now we'll see how it dies.

F        Em        Am
 If I've got to be strong,
Don't you know I need to,
F        Em
 Have to-night,
            Am
When you're gone?
'Till you're gone,
          F
I need to hold you,
Em7
 Until the time,
     Dm7
Your hands reach out,
     G7
And...

Chorus 3:

Dm7              C   Cmaj7  F
 Touch me in the mor-ning,
Dm7               C    Cmaj7
 Then just walk a-way.
Dm7              C    Cmaj7  F
 We don't have to-mor-row,
                  Bb   G
But we had yester-day.
