Verse 1:

      Abm
      The sound of your footsteps
      F#
      Telling me that you're near
      Bbm
      Your soft gentle motion, baby
      Ebm                            C#
      Brings out the need in me that no-one can hear, except

Chorus:

      F#        C#
      In my midnight confessions
      Abm                  C#
      When I tell all the world that I love you
      F#        C#
      In my midnight confessions
      Abm                 C#
      When I say all the things that I want to
      [spoken:] I love you

Bridge:

      E                  B                     F#            C#
      But a little gold ring you wear on your hand makes me understand
      E                  B                       F#
      There's another before me, you'll never be mine
                      Eb
      I'm wasting my time

      [repeat first four bars of intro, then 3/4 bar w/snare on 3]

Verse 2:

      Staggering through the daytime
      Your image on my mind
      Passing so close beside you baby
      Sometimes the feelings are so hard to hide, except

      [repeat chorus]

Horn break:

      F#       C#       E        B
      / / / /  / / / /  / / / /  / / / /   [2x]

      F#
      / / / /  / / / /

      [repeat bridge]

      [repeat chorus; first two lines over arpeggiated organ chords only]

Coda [repeat to fade]
      
      F#           C#
      Na na-na     na na na na-na
      E            B
      Na na-na     na na na na na
