[Verse 1]
D Dmaj7
If you really knew how many times I've tried to help you
D7 G
Make your mind up in the matters of the heart, you'd not be bothered
Gm D/F#
By the miscues or the bad trips that seem to come and plague us
E7 A7 D
Having thought it over, I sure would like to talk to you again

[Verse 2]
D Dmaj7
I was stone cold sober, it was daylight in October
D7 G
When you reached across the table put your hand upon my shoulder
Gm D/F#
And my lips were warm with kissing while we found the missing pieces
E7 A7 D
To all the empty spaces; I sure would like to talk that way again

[Verse 3]
D Dmaj7
We have soared above the clouds, we've heard the angels breathing
D7 G
While we made love in the morning, there was never talk of leaving
Gm D/F#
We would lie that way for hours with our arms around each other
E7 A7 D
It was all so easy, I sure would like to talk to you again
 
[Interlude]
D Dmaj7 Em A7
 
[Bridge]
D D7
'Cause I'm stone cold sober, the daylight has crossed over
Em A7 D
In the night, a touch of sadness we had it coming, had it going way back then

[Verse 4]
D Dmaj7
I was stone cold sober when I woke the morning after
D7 G
Having shattered the illusions of the object of my passions
Gm D/F#
With a will made out of iron and a mind that is her own
E7 A7 D
Having thought it over, I sure would like to talk to her again
 
[Interlude]
D Dmaj7 Em
 
A7 D
We had it coming, had it going way back then

[Verse ]
D Dmaj7
I hope that we can see each other often, that our points of view
D7 G
Will blend into each other like the sea and the horizon
Gm D/F#
And the sun will shine upon us as we live our lives forever
E7 A7 D
Having thought it over, I sure would like to talk to you again
