G
I'd like to think about her and the way she used to love me
D C G
But I just can't live without her, 'cause her arms are not around me
D C Am
And the season's getting later and my body's getting colder
D C G
And the vespers ring and I'm all alone, without my love beside me
G
She'd call me in the evening, ask me to come over
D C G
She'd be standing by the window, with her hair down around her shoulder
D C Am
We'd talk a while and then she'd smile, then she'd lock the door
D Am G
And she would sit beside me and we would talk no more
D C G D
The bells would ring at six o'clock and she'd be in my arms
C Bm Am G D G
Her head upon my shoulder, gently resting
D C G D G G7
And then she'd wake and look at me, not knowing I'd been watching
C D G
Kiss me softly, then drift off to sleep
G
She'd call me in the evening and ask me to come over
D C G
She'd be standing by the window, with her hair down around her shoulder
D C Am
We'd talk a while and then she'd smile, then she'd lock the door
D Am G
And she would sit beside me and we would talk no more
