Verse:
E
Did I abuse her or show her disdain
B
Why does she run from me
E A
If I should lose her how shall I regain the heart she has won from me?
E
Agony beyond power of speech
Am B7 E B
When the one thing you want is the only thing out of your reach
E
High in her tower she sits by the hour mantaining her hair
A
blithe and becoming and frequently humming a light hearted air
E
Agony far more painful than yours
A B7 E
When you know she would go with you if there only were doors
A E C#m
Agony, all the torture they teach
A E
What's as intriguing or half so fatiguing as what's out of reach
B
Am I not sensitive, clever, well-mannered, considerate
E A
Passionate, charming, as kind as I'm handsome
B
And heir to a throne?
You are everything maidens could wish for
Then why no. Do i know?
D#
The girl must be mad
F# D F# C#
You know nothing of madness til you're climbing her hair
F#
And you see her up there as you're nearing her
All the while hearing her
A E
Aaaaah
A E
Agony misery though it's different for each
A B
Always ten steps behind, always ten feet below
E
And she's just out of reach
A E
Agony that can cut like a knife
E
I must have her to wife.
