Intro: (G) (G) (G) (G)

I (G) smell the fragrance of your hair
Feel your fingers and your breath (Em7) on my skin
(C) When we’re here alone like this
A crazy world makes perfect (G) sense (D)
I (G) hear you whisperin’ my name
Your kisses leave the sweetest taste, (Em7) on my lips
(F) When you say, “I love you too”
(C) Soft and tender like you do
(D#) I know all my dreams have come (D) true

Then I wake (G) up
On the floor, beside our bed
Where (G/F#) I sl(Em7)eep
Ever since the night you left me a(Cadd9)lone
In this old house
(D) Days go by, but I’m still in (G) love
With who we used to be
Now (G/F#) you’re (Em7) just a precious memory
I can (Cadd9) count on every night to (D) hold me tight
Then I wake (G) up

I (G) lay here while the truth sinks in
I’m still alone you’re still not here
And (Em7) we’re still through
(C) I remember our last night
Every word right up to (G) goodbye (D)
(G) Slowly I drift off again
I’m saying words I wish I’d said
That (Em7) night, to you
And (F) you don’t drive off in your car
And (C) I don’t have a broken heart
And (D#) you can’t wait to be in my (D) arms

Then I wake (G) up
On the floor, beside our bed
Where (G/F#) I sl(Em7)eep
Ever since the night you left me a(Cadd9)lone
In this old house
(D) Days go by, but I’m still in (G) love
With who we used to be
Now (G/F#) you’re (Em7) just a precious memory
I can (Cadd9) count on every night to (D) hold me tight
Then I wake (G) up

[(G)] [(Em7)] [(Cadd9)] [(D)]
I’m still in (G) love
With who we used to be
Now (G/F#) you’re (Em7) just a precious memory
I can (Cadd9) count on every night to (D) hold me tight
Then I wake (G) up
On the floor, beside our bed
Where (G/F#) I sl(Em7)eep
Ever since the night you left me a(Cadd9)lone
In this old house
