Em                         D
I used to sit and wish the hours away
C                        Bm A
And then I'd find it was morning
Em                      D
I used to sit and be so idle with time
C                    Bm A
But that was only my warning

[Bridge]
G          A      Bm        A
Who was to say my heart was wrong
G             A           Bm
Needed just a little more time
D          A        Bm     A
Who was to say that we'd belong
G          A
You saw me looking at you
Bm          Bm7
And now I'm crying for you

[Chorus]
D  A   Bm F#m
Heart, hear-t
G              A           Bm
Help me keep a hold on you now
D  A   Bm F#m
Heart, hear-t
G                 A          D
Prayin' you'll be showin' me how

[Instrumental]
Em D C Bm A x2

[Verse 2]
Em                     D
I heard a story from a friend of a friend
C                          Bm A
That you were wishing it's o--ver
Em                    D
So many others on the silvery screen
C                        Bm A
But they were walking in clover

[Bridge]
Em         A      Bm        A
Who was to say my heart was wrong
G             A             Bm
Needed just a piece of your time
D          A       Bm     A
Who was to tell me we'd belong
G          A
You saw me lookin' at it
Bm          Bm7
And now I'm singin' for it

[Chorus]
D A    Bm F#m
Heart, hear-t
G              A           Bm
Help me keep a hold on you now
D A    Bm F#m
Heart, hear-t
G                 A           D
Prayin' you'll be teachin' me how (Singin' for you)

[Chorus]
D  A   Bm F#m
Heart, hear-t
G              A           Bm
Help me keep a hold on you now
D  A   Bm F#m
Heart, hear-t
G                 A          D
Prayin' you'll be showin' me how
