G                C   D             G  D/F#  Em
I know you loved him, a long time ago
                 Am7  D                     G    C/G    G
Even now in your mind, you still want him I know
                 C    D                  G   D/F#   Em
But Darling this time, let your memories die
                   Am7   D                 G   C/G   G
When you hold me tonight, don't close your eyes

(CHORUS)
G                C               D
Don't close your eyes, let it be me
                   G      D/F#      Em
Don't pretend it's him in some fantasy
             Am7                D
Darling just once let yesterday go
                      G        D/F#        Em
And you'll find more love than you'll ever know
             Am7                       D
Just hold me tight, when you love me tonight
                     C CM9/B A7    G
And don't close your eyes

G                 C   D                     G  D/F#   Em
Maybe I've been a fool, holding on all this time
                   Am7  D                     G   C/G   G                
Lyin' here in your arms, knowing he's in your mind
                       C  D                     G   CM9/B   Em
But I keep hoping some day, that you'll see the light
                C    D                 G   C/G   G
Let it be me tonight, don't close your eyes


(CHORUS X 2)

G                C               D
Don't close your eyes, let it be me

Don't pretend it's him in some fantasy
             Am7                D
Darling just once let yesterday go
                      G        D/F#        Em
And you'll find more love than you'll ever know
             Am7                       D
Just hold me tight, when you love me tonight
                     C CM9/B Am7    G
And don't close your eyes


             Am7                       D
Just hold me tight, when you love me tonight
                     C CM9/B Am7    G
