*from 'Touch Me in the Morning' (1973)*


*CAPO 1st FRET*

(Original Key: C#)


Chorus 1:

Dm7              C   Cmaj7  F
 Touch me in the mor-ning,
Dm7               C   Cmaj7
 Then just walk a-way.
Dm7              C    Cmaj7  F
 We don't have to-mor-row,
                  Bb  G
But we had yester-day.

Verse 1:

C                 Cmaj7
 Hey... wasn't it me who said,
             F                     Dm7
That nothing good's gonna last for-ever?
C              Cmaj7
 And wasn't it me who said,
              F                    Dm7
Let's just be glad for the time to-gether?

Bridge 1:

G
 It must've been hard to tell me,
Bb
 That you've given all you had to give.
G                                     Bb
 I can understand you're feeling that way;
Everybody's got their life to live.

Break:

      F      G                   Em           Am    G
Well,  I can say goodbye, in the cold morning light.
F            G                      Em            Am    G
 But I can't watch love die, in the warmth of the night.

F        Em        Am
 If I've got to be strong,
                         F       Em                Am
Don't you know I need to have to-night when you're gone?
                          F           Em7
'Till you're gone, I need to lie here,
                    Dm7
And think about the last time that you'll...

Chorus 2:

G7               C   Cmaj7  F
 Touch me in the mor-ning,
Dm7                  C    Cmaj7
 Then just close the door.
Dm7              C     Cmaj7
 Leave me as you found me,
F              Bb    G
 Empty like be-fore...

Verse 2:

C                 Cmaj7
 Hey... wasn't it yesterday,
           F                    Dm7
We used to laugh at the wind be-hind us?
C          Cmaj7
 Didn't we run away,
              F                    Dm7
And hope that time wouldn't try to find us?

Bridge 1:

G
 Didn't we take each other,
Bb
 To a place where no one's ever been?
G
 Yeah, I really need you near me tonight,
Bb
 'Cos you'll never take me there again.

Break:

F       G                      Em        Am   G
 Let me watch you go, with the sun in my eyes.
F                        G               Em         Am   G
 We've seen how love can grow, now we'll see how it dies.

F        Em        Am
 If I've got to be strong,
                         F       Em                Am
Don't you know I need to have to-night when you're gone?
                             F
'Till you're gone, I need to hold you,
Em7                  Dm7                   G7
 Until the time your hands reach out, and...

Chorus 3:

Dm7              C   Cmaj7  F
 Touch me in the mor-ning,
Dm7               C   Cmaj7
 Then just walk a-way.
Dm7              C    Cmaj7  F
 We don't have to-mor-row,
                  Bb  G
But we had yester-day.
