Past the point of rescue

 EmEmDDAAEmEm
  [intro: instrumental #1]  
 EmEmDD
   Last night I dreamed you were back again
 CGDEmEm
   Larger than life again, holding me tight again 
 EmEmDD
   Placing those same kisses on my brow
 CGDEm
   Sweeter than ever now, lord I remember how
 DDEmEm
   Couldn't get enough of kissing, do you know how much you're missing
 DDAA
  No you don't, but I do 
 EmEmEmEm
  [instrumental #2]
The days like a slow train trickle by
And even the words that I write refuse to fly
All I can hear is your song haunting me
Can't get the melody out of my head, you see
Distractions I've been using, do you know how much you're losing
No you don't, but I do
 EmEm
  [instrumental #3]
 GGCG
But I do, and I wonder if I'm past the point of rescue
 CGEmD
 Is no word from you at all the best that you can do
 DDEmEm
   I never meant to push or shove you, do you know how much I love you
 DDAA
 No you don't, but I do 
 EmEmDDAAEmEm
  [instrumental #1, same as intro]
I swore I'd never fall like this again
Fools like me never win, came to my knees again
Can't close the door on the likelihood
Things might be just as good, I always believed they would
Gotta let your love invite me, baby do you think it might be
No you don't, but I do
 instrumental #3
But I do, and I wonder if I'm past the point of rescue
Is no word from you at all the best that you can do
I never meant to push or shove you, do you know how much I love you
No you don't, but I do
 instrumental #3
But I do, and I wonder if I'm past the point of rescue
Is no word from you at all the best that you can do
I never meant to push or shove you, do you know how much I love you
No you don't, but I do
I know you don't, but I do
I know you don't, but I do
