riff
C C/B Am
You put a rose in my hand
F
Put a dollar in my pocket
G
But you don’t understand
riff C C/B Am
How the days grow longer, the sky is black as night
F G
I see the morning but you won’t see the light
Em Am
I thought about you for a long, long time
Em Am Fm
I wrote about you but the words don’t seem to rhyme
C C/B Am
And now you’re lying here
F G C riff
But my heart still beats for you
C C/B Am
Had a dream about you
F
You sat right down beside me
G riff
And you told me we were through
C C/B Am
It was all so real and you told me reasons why
F
You brought me to the window
G
And you taught me how to fly
Em Am
I thought about you for a long, long time
Em Am Fm
I said I love you but we just don’t have the time
C C/B Am
And now you’re lying here
F G C
But my heart still beats for you
[cello part] C C/B Am F G
Em Am
I thought to hold you for a long, long time
Em Am Fm
You said I love you but my heart won’t seem to chime in
C C/B Am
And now you’re lying here
F G C
And my heart still beats for you
C/B Am F G C
I’m trying, and my heart still beats for you
