And lately baby, I've been thinking
Amaj7 Dmaj7 E Dmaj7
How good it was when you were here
Amaj7 Dmaj7 E Dmaj7
And it ain't the wine that I've been drinking
Amaj7 Dmaj7 E Dmaj7
For once I feel my head is clear
[Refrão]

Early this morning
C#m7 Dmaj7
When I opened up my eyes

And memories of you are everywhere

But why should I tell you

You win some, you lose some

Well, I've lost and I've learned

It's just that I'm so lonely

With no place to turn

And here at the end, I find

The love that we had

Stays right on my mind

And baby boy, I was just so tired
Amaj7 Dmaj7 E Dmaj7
So I laid down to dream a while
Amaj7 Dmaj7 E Dmaj7
And lately I've been so uninspired
Amaj7 Dmaj7 Eadd9
Without the comfort of your smile
[Refrão]
Dmaj7 E
But I'm not complaining
C#m7 Dmaj7
'Cause that's just how it goes

There's always some heartache
C#m7 Dmaj7
In this world, I suppose
Dmaj7 E
But you can't imagine
C#m7 Dmaj7
And nobody knows
