Muting on the C# and C#7 aren't critical just bang away sounds alright.
For an easier version use the following in E capo on 2 for playing with CD
=================================
F#m = Em D = C
F#m9 = Em9 C# = B
F#m7 = Em7 C#7 = B7
Bm9 = Am9 A = G
Bm7 = Am7 E = D
=================================
If you find the 9th's and 7th's a bit troubling you can get by with Em Am, etc
Intro: F#m9 Bm9 F#m9 Bm9
(F#m7) I woke up in bed last night when (Bm7) something came
upon me. I (F#m7) was not lying myself, but I?ve
(Bm7) never felt so lonely. (F#m7) Something?s come between us
, girl, feels (Bm7) like we?ve hit a wall.(D) How can I know just
how you feel when (C#) we don?t touch at all?
This (F#m7) no communication thing is (Bm7) quickly growing old.
This (F#m7) isolation booth I?m in is (Bm7) dark and turning cold.
I (F#m7) used to steal your breath away with (Bm7) just one little kiss.
(D) Me and you, we were so in love back then, (C#7) but that?s not
how it is (F#m
[Refrão]But I?d catch moon(A)light in a bottle if we could
(E) drink a toast to happiness fill up my
(Bm7) pickup bed with roses and back it
(D) right up to your door(C#7). I?d write you
(F#m7) name in candy kisses from
(Bm7) here to Carolina if you (D) change your mind
and love me like before, (C#7) but that?s not how it is.
( F#m9 Bm9 F#m9 Bm9) 2nd time *****
And (F#m7) I have tossed and turned and rolled it
(Bm7) over in my mind. Not (F#m7)knowing all the questions make the
(Bm7) answers hard to find. I (F#m7)think I?ve covered everything,
but still there?s (Bm7)something that I?ve missed.
(D) I used to read you, baby, like a book,
(C#7) but that?s not how it is (F#m)
Chorus:
(2nd time thru chorus)
*******
(A)Oh, (E) no (Bm9) (D) (C#) I?d write your
(F#m7)name in candy kisses from (Bm7) here to Carolina, if you
(D)change your mind and love me like before,
(C#7) but that?s not how it is (F#m9).
Oh, (Bm9)no that?s not how it is(F#m9).
(Bm9) Say(F#m9) I woke up in bed last night when
(Bm9) something came upon me (F#m9) and I?ve (Bm9) never been so
lonely. (F#m9) (Bm9)That?s not how it is. (F#m9) (Bm9)
Repeat and fade
(F#m9) (Bm9)
