          G      D                             G

    A7 
How lonely am I'm without your kiss, without 
                                  E7 
your touch, things I love so much about you. 
         A7                          D 
But I am so afraid I let the wool be pulled  

over my eyes.

I ask you please, won't you forgive me?
