Lyrics

Hel lo, it’s me.

I thought a bout us for a long, long time.

May be I think too much but (Dm7)some thing’s wrong.

There’s some thing here does n’t (Bbmaj7)last too long.

May be I should n’t think of (Gm7)you as mine.

See ing you

or see ing an y thing as (Am7)much as I do you.

I take for grant ed that you’re (Fmaj7)al ways there.

I take for grant ed that you (Dm7)just don’t care.

Some times I can’t help see ing all the way through.

It’s (Fmaj7)im por tant to me

that (Bbmaj7)you know you are free.

(Cmaj7)’Cause I (Gm7)nev er (F)want to (Cm7)make you (Bbmaj7)change for (Cm7)me.

Think of me.

You know that I’d be with you (Fmaj7)if I could.

I’ll come a round to see you (Dm7)once in a while,

or if I ev er need a (Bbmaj7)rea son to smile,

and spend a night if you (Gm7)think I should.

Think of me.

You,

you know that I’d be with you (F#maj7)if I could.

I’ll come a round to see you (D#m7)once in a while,

or if I ev er need a (Bmaj7)rea son to smile,

and spend the night if you (G#m7)think I should.

(Amaj7)(Think of (G#m7)me.

(Amaj7)Think of (G#m7)me.)

(Amaj7)(Think of (G#m7)me.

(Amaj7)Think of (G#m7)me.)

(Amaj7)(Think of (G#m7)me.)
