F                     Bbmin/F            C
Sometimes I feel that this will go on my life through
F                      Bbmin/F           C
Each day I spend is an echoing vision of you
Bb/C                C
And then again I'll turn down love
Bb/C             C
Remembering your smile
Bb/C     C
My every day is spent
Bb/C                    C
thinking of you all the while
 
      Bb/C            C
Times I've let myself down
   Bb/C            C
My head's spinning round
   F        C11 C7b5 Fmaj7
My eyes see on  ly   you
    E11          E7b5
The chances I've lost 
     Amin7    Amin6   C11              C9
Opportunities tossed away and into the blue
 
F                       Bbm/F              C
You take away the breath I was keeping for sunrise
F                     Bbm/F                 C
You appear and the morning looks drab in my eyes
    Bb/C            C
And then again I'll turn down love
Bb/C             C
Having seen you again
Bb/C                  C
And then again you'll disappear
Bb/C              C
My morning put to shame
