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