Chords for Stephen Sondheim's Passion - "Letter 5" (Live)

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ I am writing [C] to you, _ Signora, _ [B] _
just as soon as [A] I've arrived, with a most unhappy [G] _ [D] heart.
_ [G] _ _
You are so beautiful.
I do not wish to cause you pain.
As I [E] remember every night.
So please [Am] consider what [E] I say.
Clear and beautiful.
With calm.
Every night, [Bm] every day, [Bb] every part of you.
[A] My heart.
You [B] feel so good.
[A] My heart belongs.
As if you'd never been away.
My [B] heart belongs to someone else.
Your breath so warm.
Your [A] touch so sure.
Your [Eb] skin so delicate.
[D] Your arms [A] so strong.
I am [Abm]
in love.
[E] Hopelessly in [Abm] love.
Hopelessly [G] in love.
And am loved.
[Gb] Hopelessly in turn, Signora.
_ All this happiness.
Them and I.
Being here with you [B] in the dark.
Were not [Gb] meant for each other.
So much happiness.
If I seem to imply something more.
Even [B] more than what I felt before.
I apologize.
To feel your [E] touch again.
But since we're forced to be together.
When so much [Abm] time has passed.
I have tried to [Ab] face the facts.
To dream of [E] you and them.
[Abm] To be with you.
To be with [Dbm] you again.
And have some [A] time that _ lasts.
_ Let us both behave [E] with tact.
[Eb] How long were we apart?
[Abm] If this letter [Gb] seems cold [Abm]-hearted.
A [Gb] month.
A week.
A day.
[B] It conceals my own distress.
To feel your [E] touch again.
We must end what never started.
You've never been [B] away. _ _ _ _
You must recognize.
Still I'm here.
There is nothing between us.
So much nothing.
[Gb] _
I'm here now.
Nothing. _ _
[B] _ _ Nothing.
_ _ [Gb] Welcome home. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ [N] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
