Intro D# A# (2x) 

        D#     A#         D# 
I reach out my arms and I touch you. (touch you) 
     D#           A#           D# 
With soft words I whisper your name. (your name) 
D#         A#           G#         D# 
I held you right on the tips of my fingers, 
      D#            A#               D# 
but I let it slip a right through my hands. 

   D#         A#             D# 
My eyes had a vision of your sweet lips. (sweet lips) 
D#       A#         D# 
Yielding beneath my command (my command). 
D#         A#        G#         D# 
I held you up on the tips of my fingers, 
      D#            A#               D# 
but I let it slip a right through my hands. 

   A#                     G#       D# 
Oh somebody took you when I wasn't looking 
    A#                   G#                   D# 
And I should have known, said I know from the start 
            D#         A#           G#         D# 
That it's a long, long way from the tips of my fingers 
      D#            A#               D# 
but I let it slip a right through my hands. 

    D#          A#          G#         D# 
Yes I held your love on the tips of my fingers 
      D#      A#                    D# 
But I let you slip right through my hands.
