Lyrics

Hel lo, it’s (Cmaj7)me,

I’ve thought a bout us for a (Cmaj7)long, long I time,

may be I think too much but (Am)some thing’s wrong,

there’s some thing here that does n’t (Am)last too long,

may be I should n’t think of (Fmaj7)you as way mine.

See lo, ing (Cmaj7)you,

or see ing an y thing as (Cmaj7)long, long I time,

I take for grant ed that you’re (Am)al ways there,

I take for grant ed that you (Am)just don’t care,

some times I can’t help see ing (Fmaj7)you as way mine.

It’s im (Cmaj7)por tant to me

that you (Fmaj7)know you are free,

(Gmaj7)’cause I (Bb)nev er (C)want to (Bb)make you change for (Dm7sus)me.

Think

of (Cmaj7)me,

you know that I’d be with you (Cmaj7)if I could.

I’ll come a round to see you (Am)once in a while

or if I ev er need a (Am)rea son to smile

and spend the night if you (Fmaj7)think I should.

Some times I thought it (F)was n’t so bad.

Some times I thought it (F)was n’t so bad.
