Chords

[Verse 1]
G                                Asus2          Am
I feel the trembling tingle of a sleepless night

C                D7               G
Creep through my fingers and the moon is bright

G        Gmaj7 G6                       Asus2        Am
Beams of blue come flickering through my window pane

C                     D7             G
Like gypsy moths that dance around a candle flame 
[Chorus]
      G      Asus2 Am
And I wonder if you know

     Cadd9   D7   G
That I never understood

     Em           Am7
That although you said you'd go

C               D7                G Gmaj7 G6 Am7 Asus4
Until you did I never thought you would 
[Verse 2]
G                                   Asus2          Am
Moonlight used to bathe the contours of your face

C                        D7              G        
While chestnut hair fell all around the pillow case

G        Gmaj7             G6          Am          Asus2 Am
And the fragrance of your flowers rest beneath my head

  C           D7                  G
A sympathy bouquet left with the love that's dead 
[Chorus]
G                  Asus2  Am
And I wonder if you know

Cadd9  D7          G
That I never understood

       Em                    Am7
That although you said you'd go

C               D7                G    Gmaj7 G6
Until you did I never thought you would
[Bridge]
Asus4             Em                  G   Am7
Never thought the words you said were true

D6    G           D6        C        Am7 Am C
Never thought you said just what you meant

Dsus2  D              G         Gmaj7 G6 Am7
Never knew how much I needed you

       D            C        D6      Am   D6
Never thought you'd leave, until you went 
[Verse 3]
G                                   Asus2    Am
Morning comes and morning goes with no regret

C                      D7         G
And evening brings the memories I can't forget

G      Gmaj7     G6        Am        Asus2
Empty rooms that echo as I climb the stairs

C                      D7                G
And empty clothes that drape and fall on empty chairs 
[Chorus]
G                  Asus2  Am
And I wonder if you know

Cadd9  D7          G
That I never understood

       Em                   Am7
That although you said you'd go

C               D7    G    Gmaj7 G6
Until you did I never thought you would
