Intro 1
(D major) (D major) (D major)
Verse 1
(G major) I feel the trembling tingle
of a (A minor7) sleepless night
(C major) Creep through my (D7) fingers
and the moon (G major) is bright (C/G) (G major)
Beams of blue come flickering
through my (A minor7) window pane
(C major) Like gypsy moths (D7)
that dance around a candle (G major) flame (C/G) (G major)

Chorus 1
And I wonder if you (A minor7) know
(D7) That I never under (G major) stood (G/F#) (E minor)
That although you said you'd (A minor7) go
Un (C major) til you did
I (D7) never thought you (G major) would
(A minor7) (D major) (D major) (D major)
Verse 2
(G major) Moonlight used to bathe
the con (A minor7) tours of your face
(C major) While chestnut (D7) hair
fell all around the (G major) pillow case (C/G) (G major)
And the fragrance of your flowers
rest (A minor7) beneath my head
(C major) A sympathy bou (D7) quet
left with the (G major) love that's dead (C/G) (G major)
Chorus 2
And I wonder if you (A minor7) know
(D7) That I never un (G major) derstood (G/F#) (E minor)
That although you said you'd (A minor7) go
Un (C major) til you did
I (D7) never thought you (G major) would
Never thought the (G/F#) words you said were
Bridge 1
(E minor) true
(A minor7) Never thought (A minor/G) you said
just what (D/F#) you meant
(G major) Never knew (G/F#) how much I (E minor) needed you
(A minor7) Never thought you'd (C major) leave, (D major)
until (G major) you went
(A minor7) (D major) (D major)
Verse 3
(G major) Morning comes and morning goes
(A minor7) with no regret
(C major) And evening (D7) brings
the memories I (G major) can't forget (C/G) (G major)
Empty rooms that echo as I (A minor7) climb the stairs
(C major) And empty clothes (D7) that drape
and fall on (G major) empty chairs (C/G) (G major)
Chorus 3
And I wonder if you (A minor7) know
(D7) That I never under (G major) stood (G/F#) (E minor)
That although you said you'd (A minor7) go
Un (C major) til you did
I (D7) never thought you (G major) would
(A minor7) (D major) (D major) (D major) (G major)
