(C)Late ly I have had the strang est (Am7)feel ing

(Dm7)Yet the thought of los ing you’s been hang ing

’round my (C)mind.

Far more fre quent ly you’re wear ing (Am)per fume

I (Dm7)with, you say, no spec ial place to (G)go.

But (Dm7)when I ask, will you be com ing back soon,

you don’t (C)know,

nev er (C7)know.

Well, (F6)I’m a man of man y wish es, (Fm)hope my prem o ni tion miss es, but (Em7)what I real ly feel,

my (A7sus)eyes won’t let me (A9)hide, ’cause they (Dm7)al

(Em7)ways

(Fm7)start

(G7)to

(C)cry;

’cause this (Dm7)time

(Em7)could

(Fm7)mean

(G7)good

(C)bye.
