riff
Yo[C]u put a ro[C/B]se in my hand[Am]
Put a d[F]ollar in my pocket
But you don't u[G]nderstand
riff C C/B Am
How the days grow longer, the sky is black as night
I s[F]ee the morning but you won't s[G]ee the light
I [Em]thought about you for a l[Am]ong, long time
I [Em]wrote about you but the w[Am]ords don't seem to r[Fm]hyme
And [C]now you're [C/B]lying h[Am]ere
F G C riff
But my heart still beats for you
H[C]ad a d[C/B]ream abo[Am]ut you
You [F]sat right down beside me
G riff
And you told me we were through
It was a[C]ll so r[C/B]eal and you t[Am]old me reasons why
You b[F]rought me to the window
And you t[G]aught me how to fly
I t[Em]hought about you for a l[Am]ong, long time
I[Em] said I love you but we j[Am]ust don't have the t[Fm]ime
And n[C]ow you're l[C/B]ying h[Am]ere
But my h[F]eart still b[G]eats for y[C]ou
(cello part) C C/B Am F G
I th[Em]ought to hold you for a l[Am]ong, long time
You s[Em]aid I love you but my h[Am]eart won't seem to c[Fm]hime in
And n[C]ow you're l[C/B]ying h[Am]ere
And my h[F]eart still b[G]eats for y[C]ou
I[C/B]'m tr[Am]ying, and my h[F]eart still b[G]eats for y[C]ou
