Am E Am E 


verse 1: 

Am                     E 
    Apologies for last night 
                              F 
My conscience wouldn’t let me sleep 
                         E 
The words kept following me 


Am                          E 
    A miracle that’s come undone 
                         F 
The complications of the week 
                 C 
What is that you lack? 
                 G 
What is that you seek? 


Bridge: 

       C          E              F 
Does a smile come alive when you share the wine? 
        C             E           F        C 
And the love that you make was it right on time? 
       C          E              F 
Does a smile come alive when you share the wine? 
        C             E           F        C 
And the love that you make was it right on time? 


TRUMPET INTERLUDE: Am 


verse 2: 

Am               E 
    Poor old Romeo 
                 F 
Juliet is at his feet 
                 E 
Maybe she’s just asleep 


Am                            E 
     If sorry doesn’t get you home 
                F 
Or dignity in defeat 
                    C 
What is it that you lack? 
                    G 
What is it that you seek? 


C             E                  F 
Hey, it’s not yours and it’s not mine 
C             E                  F 
Hey, I’m just here to share your time 
F         Em        Dm       G          
Don’t you pay those spinning wheels no mind 

C        E         F
(Instrumental)
