If you really knew how many times I've tried to help you
           D7                            G
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

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

🎸 Verse 3:
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

        Em                           A7                          D
In the night, a touch of sadness we had it coming, had it going way back then

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

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
