verse 1
C
Take me in your arms and hold me
G
Give me just a minute more

To help me over all the days that I'll be blue
Take my lips and kiss me gently
G
'Cause I know that like before
C
When you leave me all alone I'll cry for you
verse 2
I haven't got the right to ask for love or sympathy
G C
After I did all the things I shouldn't do
G
But all I'm asking for is just a little memory
C
'Cause I know that when you go I'll cry for you
F C
I'll sit and watch the window and I'll pray that you will come
G C
But at the end of every day I'll still be blue
F C
I'll think of all the chances that I had to keep you mine
G C
And like I've done a million times I'll cry for you
verse 3
G
Memories that come and linger make me wish we'd never met
C
Because it seems they're gonna break my heart in two

Either give me love forevermore or help me to forget
C
'Cause when you're gone far away I'll cry for you
F C
I'll sit and watch the window and I'll pray that you will come

But at the end of every day I'll still be blue
F C
I'll think of all the chances that I had to keep you mine

And like I've done a million times I'll cry for you
