D              Dmaj7
If you really knew how many times I've tried to help you

Make your mind up in the matters of the heart, you'd not be bothered
    Gm              D/F#
By the miscues or the bad trips that seem to come and plague us

D                Dmaj7
I was stone cold sober, it was daylight in October
     D7                G
When you reached across the table put your hand upon my shoulder
    Gm                  D/F#
And my lips were warm with kissing while we found the missing pieces
E7             A7                D
To all the empty spaces; I sure would like to talk that way again

D                   Dmaj7
We have soared above the clouds, we've heard the angels breathing
     D7                 G
While we made love in the morning, there was never talk of leaving
     Gm               D/F#
We would lie that way for hours with our arms around each other
E7           A7               D
It was all so easy, I sure would like to talk to you again

🎸 Interlude:

'Cause I'm stone cold sober, the daylight has crossed over

In the night, a touch of sadness we had it coming, had it going way back then

🎸 Verse 4:
D               Dmaj7
I was stone cold sober when I woke the morning after
     D7              G
Having shattered the illusions of the object of my passions
    Gm             D/F#
With a will made out of iron and a mind that is her own
E7             A7               D
Having thought it over, I sure would like to talk to her again

🎸 Verse :
D                 Dmaj7
I hope that we can see each other often, that our points of view
    D7              G
Will blend into each other like the sea and the horizon
    Gm              D/F#
And the sun will shine upon us as we live our lives forever
E7             A7               D
Having thought it over, I sure would like to talk to you again
