Chorus 1:
Dm7 C Cmaj7 F
Touch me in the mor-ning,
Dm7 C Cmaj7
Then just walk a-way.
Dm7 C Cmaj7 F
We don't have to-mor-row,
Bb G
But we had yester-day.
Verse 1:
C
Hey...
Cmaj7
Wasn't it me who said,
F
That nothing good's,
Dm7
Gonna last for-ever?
C Cmaj7
And wasn't it me who said,
F
Let's just be glad,
Dm7
For the time to-gether?
Bridge 1:
G
It must've been hard,
To tell me,
Bb
That you've given,
All you had to give.
G
I can understand,
Bb
You're feeling that way,
Everybody's got,
Their life to live.
Break:
F G
Well, I can say goodbye,
Em Am
In the cold morning light.
F G
But I can't watch love die,
Em Am
In the warmth of the night.
F Em Am
If I've got to be strong,
Don't you know I need to,
F Em
Have to-night,
Am
When you're gone?
'Till you're gone,
F Em7
I need to lie here,
And think about,
Dm7
The last time that you'll;

Dm7 C Cmaj7
Leave me as you found me,
F Bb G
Empty like be-fore...
Verse 2:
C
Hey...
Cmaj7
Wasn't it yesterday,
F
We used to laugh,
Dm7
At the wind be-hind us?
C Cmaj7
Didn't we run away,
F
And hope that time wouldn't,
Dm7
Try to find us?
Bridge 1:
G
Didn't we,
Take each other,
Bb
To a place where,
No one's ever been?
G
Yeah, I really need you,
Near me tonight,
Bb
'Cos you'll never,
Take me there again.
Break:
F G
Let me watch you go,
Em Am
With the sun in my eyes.
F
We've seen how,
G
Love can grow,
Em Am
Now we'll see how it dies.
F Em Am
If I've got to be strong,
Don't you know I need to,
F Em
Have to-night,
Am
When you're gone?
'Till you're gone,
F
I need to hold you,
Em7
Until the time,
Dm7 G7
Your hands reach out, and...

Dm7 C Cmaj7
Then just walk a-way.

We don't have to-mor-row,
Bb G
But we had yester-day.
