keeping on getting it wrong.

She can only last so long
      Bm7         E9
She's going for a song,

so sing her a lull-a- by-   bye

And in our time alone
   Bm7      Gmaj7  G#m7/5- C#7       F#maj7
my love has surely grown     of its own

solid as a stepping stone
   Em9      A7     Dmaj7    C#m7      F#7sus4   F#7
as silently as the dawn was breaking, soft and clear
       Bm7        E9         F#7sus4   F#7
and my tears were dry and my fears had flown
     Bm7       E9      F#
so I called my love my home.
Dmaj7 C#m7 Bm7 F#7sus4 F#7  Bm7 E9 Amaj7
