{Verse 1} 
 
G 
  Early morning and as I rise, you won't even open your eyes. 
    C                                                               G 
You used to love this time together. Now you won't even say goodbye. 
 
With the passin' time I've watched you change. My love for you still remains the same. 
     C                                                            G 
Your love for me used to come so easy. Now it seldom comes at all. 
 
         Am                D       Am                  D  E 
Could it be we're really over? Has all the lovin' gone? 
      Am                   D               Bm                  E 
Is it finally time to face   the hurt I've dreaded for so long. 
        Am                       D                   C    G 
Tell me what in the name of love   have I done wrong? 
 
 
{Verse 2} 
 
G 
  I hope in time we'll find a way to bring our lovin' back some day. 
   C                                                                   G 
If your new life's not what you expected, call and I'll come back home. 
 
I hate to leave but I've got to go. Don't ask why, I'm sure you know. 
     C                                                      G 
Your love for me I can't share with another. It hurts me so. 
 
{Repeat Chorus x 2}

  Early morning and as I rise, you won't even open your eyes.
