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

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

G                                        Am
Beams of blue come flickering through my window pane

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

                  G
That I never understood

       Em                    Am
That although you said you'd go

C         D                       G    Am D
Until you did I never thought you would
[Verse 2]
G                                    Am
Moonlight used to bathe the contours of your face

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

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

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

                  G
That I never understood

       Em                    Am
That although you said you'd go

C         D                       G    Am D
Until you did I never thought you would
[Bridge]
G                                     Em
Never thought the words you said were true

C                                    D
Never thought you said just what you meant

Bm                           Em
Never knew how much I needed you

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

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

G                          Am
Empty rooms that echo as I climb the stairs

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

                  G
That I never understood

       Em                    Am
That although you said you'd go

C         D                       G
Until you did I never thought you would
[Outro] G Am C D G
