[Eb] [Ab] I feel a trembling [Bb] tingle of a sleepless [F] night
[Db] [Eb] Creep through my fingers [Ab] and the moon is bright
[Db] [Ab]
Beams of blue come [Bb] flickering through my windowpane
[Db]
Like [Eb] gypsy maws that [Ab] dance around a candle flame
And [Fm] I wonder [Bbm] if you know
[Eb] That I never [Ab] understood

although you [Bbm] said you'd go
[Db] Until you did, [Eb] I never thought [Ab] you would

[Eb] [Bbm] [Fm] [Bbm] [Fm]
[Eb] [Ab] Morning comes and morning [Bb] goes with no regret
[Db] And evening [Eb] brings the memories [Ab] I can't [Db] forget
[Ab]
Empty rooms that echo [Bbm] as I climb the stairs
[Fm] [Db] And empty [Eb] clothes that drape and fall [Ab] on empty [Db] chairs
[Ab]
And [F] I wonder [Bbm] if you know
[Eb]
That I never [Ab] understood
