  			C                 G7              C 
I come home and I sat down by the door 
  
                                    G7 
I just sat and dream my lonely life away 

             C                                       F 
I just can't stand a thought that I won't see you anymore 

          C       G7               F  C 
I guess I die ten thousand times a d-ay 


             G7                C 
Without soul life comes to its end  

                                    G7 
I ceased to live the night you went away 

            C                                         F 
If you walk through that door then I'll start to live again 

          C       G7               F  C 
I guess I die ten thousand times a d-ay 


               G7                C 
I pick up each thing you used to touch 

                                    G7 
I call to mine each tender word you say 

        C                                              F 
If I've hurt you it's just because I love you much too much 

          C       G7               F  C 
I guess I die ten thousand times a d-ay
