riff
  C         C/B           Am
You put a rose in my hand
       F
Put a dollar in my pocket
               G         
But you don't understand
riff     C        C/B          Am
How the days grow longer, the sky is black as night
   F                             G
I see the morning but you won't see the light

  Em                       Am
I thought about you for a long, long time
  Em                       Am                  Fm
I wrote about you but the words don't seem to rhyme
    C          C/B    Am
And now you're lying here
       F            G         C    riff
But my heart still beats for you

 C     C/B     Am
Had a dream about you
    F
You sat right down beside me
         G                      riff
And you told me we were through
        C      C/B          Am
It was all so real and you told me reasons why
     F
You brought me to the window 
         G
And you taught me how to fly

   Em                      Am
I thought about you for a long, long time
 Em                       Am                  Fm
I said I love you but we just don't have the time
     C          C/B   Am
And now you're lying here
        F           G         C
But my heart still beats for you

[cello part] C  C/B  Am  F  G

    Em                       Am
I thought to hold you for a long, long time
     Em                     Am                  Fm
You said I love you but my heart won't seem to chime in
     C          C/B   Am
And now you're lying here
        F           G         C
And my heart still beats for you
 C/B  Am            F           G         C
I'm trying, and my heart still beats for you
