INTRO: D Em7 F#m7 Em7
D (xx0232@1)Em7 F#m7 (131141@2)A (x02220@1)VERSE 1:
D (xx0232@1) Em7
With the sweet drip of every raindrop
F#m7 (131141@2) Em7
Time brings you closer to me
D (xx0232@1) Em7
And with each new sign at every train-stop
F#m7 (131141@2) Em7 D (xx0232@1) Em7 F#m7 (131141@2) A (x02220@1)
Another hour without you is consigned to history
D (xx0232@1) Em7
And with each tick of my alarm clock
F#m7 (131141@2) Em7
I get crazy for the days to get to you
D (xx0232@1) Em7
When I can hold you and kiss you and have you
F#m7 (131141@2) Em7
Instead of staring at some photo like a fool
PRE-CHORUS:
G (320003@1) Em7
But as day turns to night there's this hopelessness to fight
G (320003@1) A (x02220@1)D/A (x00232@1)A7When (x02020@1)I think that I might not make it through
CHORUS:
D (xx0232@1) G (320003@1) DBut (xx0232@1)honey sometimes I just have to say your name
G (320003@1) Em7
To hear it hanging in the air, to know it sounds the same
Em7 GAnd (320003@1)sometimes when I'm blue, I know just what to do
A (x02220@1) G (320003@1) A (x02220@1) D (xx0232@1)
To keep the blues at bay you know I only have to say your name
INTRO
VERSE 2:
D (xx0232@1) Em7
So this morning I picked up the paper
F#m7 (131141@2) Em7
In the useless descent of the rain
D (xx0232@1) Em7
While partners in heartbreak the whole world over
F#m7 (131141@2) Em7
Lie and cheat just the same
D (xx0232@1) Em7
And the headlines proclaim everything has changed
F#m7 (131141@2) Em7
Love can't save you now
D (xx0232@1) Em7
As each little motion of my writswatch
F#m7 (131141@2) Em7
Holds up my faith somehow
PRE-CHORUS:
G (320003@1) Em7
But as day turns to night there's this hopelessness to fight
G (320003@1) A (x02220@1)D/A (x00232@1)A7When (x02020@1)I think that I might not make it through
CHORUS:
D (xx0232@1) G (320003@1) DBut (xx0232@1)honey sometimes I just have to say your name
G (320003@1) Em7
To hear it hanging in the air, to know it sounds the same
Em7 GAnd (320003@1)sometimes when I'm blue, I know just what to do
A (x02220@1) G (320003@1) A (x02220@1) D (xx0232@1)ATo (x02220@1)keep the blues at bay you know I only have to say your name
BRIDGE:
G (320003@1) DWhen (xx0232@1)I've used up all my patience
G (320003@1) DWhen (xx0232@1)your letters have been read twenty times through
F#m7 (131141@2) GI (320003@1)can drink all the wine in this place of mine
Em7 A (x02220@1)
But it ain't no replacement, it ain't no replacement for
D (xx0232@1)F#m7 (131141@2)Bm7 (x20202@1)A (x02220@1)Em7 G (320003@1)A (x02220@1)D (xx0232@1)A7you................. (x02020@1)
