Suspicion chords
Terry Stafford 1964 (written for Elvis Presley by Doc Pomus & Mort Shuman 1962) *

D                                                     Em
Every time you kiss me I m still not certain that you love me,
Em                                                    D
Every time you hold me I m still not certain that you care
D                                                    Em
Though you keep on saying you really, really, really love me
Em                                                       D
Do you speak the same words to someone else when I m not there.

I can t help but think that you re meeting someone else tonight,
D                                                   Em
Why should our romance just keep on causing me such sorrow?
Em                                          D
Why am I so doubtful whenever you re out of sight?

D                                                Em
Darling, if you love me, I beg you wait a little longer,
Em                                                   D
Wait until I drive all these foolish fears out of my mind,
D                                                      Em
How I hope and pray that our love will keep on growing stronger,
Em                                                  D
Maybe I m suspicious  cause true love is so hard to find.
