E
Did I abuse her or show her disdain?
A
Why does she run from me?

If I should lose her how shall I regain the
A
heart she has won from me?

Agony beyond power of speech

When the one thing you want is the only thing
Emaj7 E6 Emaj7 E6
out of your reach

E
High in her tower she sits by the hour
A
mantaining her hair.

Blithe and becoming and frequently humming
A
a light hearted air
A
Aaaaaah
Refrain:
A7 E
Agony far more painful than yours
A B7
When you know she would go with you
Emaj7 E6 Emaj7 E6
if there only were doors
A E C#m
Agony, all the torture they teach
A
What's as intriguing or half so fatiguing as
Emaj7 E6 Emaj7 E6
what's out of reach
Bridge:
Em
Am I not sensitive, clever, well-mannered, considerate
E
Passionate, charming, as kind as I'm handsome
F#
And heir to a throne?
You are everything maidens could wish for
Then why no. Do I know?
F#m
The girl must be mad
A
You know nothing of madness til you're climbing her
Em
Hair you see her up there as you're nearing her
F#
All the while hearing her
Adim
Aaaaah!!!

A7 E
Agony, misery, woe, though it's different for each

Always ten steps behind, always ten feet below
E C#m
And she's just out of reach!

Agony that can cut like a knife
Emaj7 E6 Emaj7 E6 E
I must have her to wife.
