  			                 C        Dm7          C            Dm7 
When the sun is high in the afternoon sky. 
 
               C                Dm7              C 
You can always find something to do. 
 
               Em7     B7                 Em7          B7  
But from dusk till dawn, as the clock ticks on. 
 
G               Em7           Dm7   G7  
Something happens to you. 
 
 
         C               Dm7            C 
In the wee small hours of the morning. 
 
                C                Am              Dm7 
While the whole wide world is fast asleep. 
 
         F   Cdim        C                       Am  
 You lie awake and think about the girl. 
 
        D              D7                      G 
And never ever think of counting sheep. 
 
 
                    C       Dm7                         C            C7 
When your lonely heart has learned its lesson. 
 
                F        Em                  Am      Fm  
You'd be hers if only she would call. 
 
          F               Cdim           C                 A7   
In the wee small hours of the morning. 
 
                F                            G           C       Fm     C 
That's the time you miss her most of all.
