Chords with lyrics

[Intro]

E minorEm A augmentedA E minorEm A augmentedA


[Verse 1]

E minorEm
Today I read your note one last time, And made a picture in my mind
A augmentedA    D MajorD      A augmentedA          E minorEm A augmentedA  D MajorD        A augmentedA  G+G
Then I buried your words in the ground, For no one to be found
E minorEm
It troubles me to see the dirt on my hands, But I think you'd understand
    A augmentedA              E minorEm
God I miss you, God I miss you

[Chorus]

F#F#                       B minorBm       E minorEm
Oh I know you are thinking of me but it's just not enough
F#F#                   B minorBm
You say "be patient my dear" but I need you here

G+G                D MajorD        A augmentedA
But instead you're lost in feelings for somebody else
        G+G        D MajorD        A augmentedA             B minorBm A augmentedA G+G    B minorBm A augmentedA G+G
oh, And it hurts me you're with him now instead of me, Instead of me  instead of me


[Verse 2]

E minorEm
Sometimes it's almost too much to bear, And it seems so unfair
A augmentedA   D MajorD      A augmentedA       E minorEm A augmentedA   D MajorD    A augmentedA    G+G
Every secret and every little lie, Feeds the guilt inside
E minorEm
Now I know there is no other way, Still I long for the day
     A augmentedA            E minorEm
When we can be as one, be as one


[Chorus]

F#F#                       B minorBm       E minorEm
Oh I know you are thinking of me but it's just not enough
F#F#                   B minorBm
You say "be patient my dear" but I need you here

G+G                D MajorD        A augmentedA
But instead you're lost in feelings for somebody else
        G+G        D MajorD        A augmentedA             B minorBm A augmentedA G+G    B minorBm A augmentedA G+G
oh, And it hurts me you're with him now instead of me, Instead of me  instead of me


[Bridge]

A augmentedA                             E minorEm   F#F#  E minorEm
Let's pretend for a moment, my dear, We could have it our way
A augmentedA                                    E minorEm       F#F#   E minorEm   G+G
Our very own place, sipping red wine and beer, On the porch, on a summer's day
A augmentedA
Wouldn't that be great?


[Outro]

G+G                D MajorD         A augmentedA
But till then you're lost in feelings for somebody else
      G+G        D MajorD        A augmentedA
