Verse 2
Now [E]try and picture [Dsus2]this, as I [Asus2]gave you a kiss
The [E]apple in your [Dsus2]mouth slips in [Asus2]mine.
The [E]orchestra [Dsus2]played the [Asus2]sweetest serenade,
We [E]laughed as we [Dsus2]put away your [A]wine.

When [E]all the fun was [Dsus2]over, I [Asus2]put you on my shoulder
