[Intro] | G D D/C | Em D | C G6/B | D C G |
G                 D          Em   D
Seems like such a long time ago

C     G               D  C  G
I was walking down a lonely road

G                 D         Em   D
Getting tired of dreaming alone

C            G             D C   G
Like all the lonely people I had known

G                 D          Em   D
Seems like such a long time ago

C         G                D     C  G
There was no-one who would share my song

G            D            Em   D
I was just a boy far from home

C       G               D   C     G
But I became a man when you came along

C   G        Am    G     Em
We spent the whole night talking

    G          C       Em      D7  G
You said you'd like to see the sun rise

C          Am   G  Em
But in the gold of morning

                  G      C       Em      D7   G
There was nothing that I had not seen in your eyes

D Em D
Hmm  Hmm

C          G
I was so afraid to touch you

Am7                  G
Thought you were too young to know

   C                   G        Am7 Em D
So I just watched you sleeping

C                 G
Then you woke and said to me,

     Am7              G
"The night is cold it frightens me,

C                G            Am7  Em D Am7  Em D
I could sleep so easy next to you"

G           D     Em D
Wasn't very long ago

C             G                 D     C  G
You said that you would like to share my road

G                 D         Em   D
Then you started singing my song

C                  G
You said, "So many nights are waiting,

Am7               G              C
Let's not spend a moment wasting time,

               G           Am Em D
'Cause we have very far to go

C            G
I will go if you will take me

Am7          G
I have never had a lover

C              G        Am7  Em D Am7  Em D
I am young but I am so alone"

C  G         Am    G     Em       G  C  Em  D7  G
We spent the whole night talking

C          Am   G  Em        G C Em D7 G D Em Am D G
But in the gold of morning

Em   D
Hmmm

Em D   D7  G
Hmmm,  mmm mmm
