{intro: instrumental #1} 
 
Em             Em               D      D 
  Last night I dreamed you were back again 
C             G           D           Em         Em 
  Larger than life again, holding me tight again 
Em              Em           D    D 
  Placing those same kisses on my brow 
C              G         D        Em 
  Sweeter than ever now, lord I remember how 
D               D                Em                Em 
  Couldn't get enough of kissing, do you know how much you're missing 
  D            D      A  A 
  No you don't, but I do 
Em  Em  Em  Em 
{instrumental #2} 
 
The days like a slow train trickle by 
And even the words that I write refuse to fly 
All I can hear is your song haunting me 
Can't get the melody out of my head, you see 
Distractions I've been using, do you know how much you're losing 
No you don't, but I do 
Em  Em 
{instrumental #3} 
 
      G         G             C                  G 
But I do, and I wonder if I'm past the point of rescue 
C               G              Em             D 
Is no word from you at all the best that you can do 
D                  D                 Em                Em 
  I never meant to push or shove you, do you know how much I love you 
D            D      A  A 
No you don't, but I do 
 
Em  Em  D  D  A  A  Em  Em 
{instrumental #1, same as intro} 
 
I swore I'd never fall like this again 
Fools like me never win, came to my knees again 
Can't close the door on the likelihood 
Things might be just as good, I always believed they would 
Gotta let your love invite me, baby do you think it might be 
No you don't, but I do 
{instrumental #3} 
 
But I do, and I wonder if I'm past the point of rescue 
Is no word from you at all the best that you can do 
I never meant to push or shove you, do you know how much I love you 
No you don't, but I do 
{instrumental #3} 
 
But I do, and I wonder if I'm past the point of rescue 
Is no word from you at all the best that you can do 
I never meant to push or shove you, do you know how much I love you 
No you don't, but I do 
I know you don't, but I do 
I know you don't, but I do
