Bracketed notes are bass notes (if you play for yourself) [Riff 2] This is what's played in the original version:
A7sus4             A7             A7sus4             A7

Progression: [Riff 1] All of the seasons and all of the days All of the reasons why I felt this way [Riff 2] So long, so long. [Riff 1] Then lost in that feeling, I looked in your eyes I noticed emotion and that you had cried [Riff 2] For me, I can see.
Dm                    CaddD  C   G                   A       Asus4  A 
   What would touch me deep--er? Tears that fall from eyes that only cry?

Dm                    CaddD  C      G                     A*     
   Would it touch you deep---er than tears that fall from eyes that know why?
[Riff 1] x2 [Riff 2] [Riff 1] x2 A lifetime of questions, tears on your cheek I tasted the answers and my body was weak [Riff 2] For you, the truth.
Dm                    CaddD  C   G                   A       Asus4  A 
   What would touch me deep--er? Tears that fall from eyes that only cry?

Dm                    CaddD  C      G                     A*     
   Would it touch you deep---er than tears that fall from eyes that know why?
