Lyrics

If I (C)nev er feel you in my arms a gain,

if I (Dm)nev er feel your ten der kiss a gain,

if I (Em)nev er hear “I love you” now and then,

will I (F)nev er make love to you once a gain?

Please un der (Em7)stand,

if love (Am)ends,

then I (Dm)prom ise you, I prom ise you that, that I shall nev er breathe a gain, (F)breathe a gain, breath a gain, that I shall nev er breathe a gain, (C)breathe a gain.

And I (F)can’t stop think ing a (Dm7)bout, a bout the (Em7)way things used to (Am7)be, and I (F)can’t stop think ing a (Dm7)bout, a bout the (Em7)love that you made to (Am7)me.

And I (F)can’t get you out of my (Dm7)head; how in the (Em7)world will I be (Am7)gin to (Gm)let you walk right (C7)out my life and (Fmaj7)throw my heart a way?

And I (F)can’t stop car ing a (Dm7)bout, a bout the (Em7)ap ple of my (Am7)eye, and I (F)can’t stop do ing with (Dm7)out, with out the (Em7)cen ter of my (Am7)life.

And I (Fmaj7)can’t get you out of my (Dm7)head, and I (Em7)know I can’t pre (Am7)tend that (Bbmaj7)I won’t die if you de cide you (F)won’t see me a gain.

If I (C)nev er feel you in my arms a gain,

if I (Dm)nev er feel your ten der kiss a gain,

if I (Em)nev er hear “I love you” now and then,

will I (F)nev er make love to you once a gain?

Please un der (Em7)stand,

if love (Am)ends,

then I (Dm)prom ise you, I prom ise you that, that I shall nev er breathe a gain, (F)breathe a gain, breath a gain, that I shall nev er breathe a gain, (C)breathe a gain.

And I (F)can’t stop think ing a (Dm7)bout, a bout the (Em7)way my life would (Am7)be.

No, I (F)can’t stop think ing a (Dm7)bout, how could you (Em7)love that me then to (Am7)leave?

And I (F)can’t get you out of my (Dm7)mind; how in God (Em7)knows how hard I’ve (Am7)tried, and (Gm)if you walk right (C7)out my life, God (Fmaj7)knows I’m sure to die.

And I (F)can’t stop do ing with (Dm7)out, with out the (Em7)rhy thm of my (Am7)heart.

No, I (F)can’t stop do ing with (Dm7)out, for I will (Em7)sure ly fall a (Am7)part.

And I (Fmaj7)can’t get you out of my (Dm7)mind, and I (Em7)know I can’t de (Am7)ny, and (Bbmaj7)I would die if you de cide you (F)won’t see me a gain.

If I (F)won’t see me a gain.

If I (C)breathe a gain.
