[Verse 1]
G#m F#6 Fm7b5 E My dear impulsive darling A6 Gdim7 F#7 I suspect my letter got to you too late G#m C#7 F# D#m And it's really just a silly fragment of paper D#7 A#7b13 D#7 But it means so much to those who wait Em D Dbm7b5 All the suffering days and nights C F Bb Gb B F Till I dare dream again Em D Dbm7b5 There you suddenly stand and I'll be damned Am9 C F7 G If you didn't disappear with the dawn
[Chorus]
E C#m A B7 Hours pass and darkness comes A E B7 E Soon I will close my eyes E C#m A B7 Will you return if you don't reply A E B7 You'll be taking my life in your hands E F F#m (G#m) A (A#dim7) B7 (Cdim7 C#m) E You'll be taking my life in your hands F#m A E Taking my life in your hands
