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