G                                 C                       D
 I could never hear you when you told me that you loved me,
G                               C              D          
 I could never hear you when you called my name,
         Bm           Em     Am             D
 I could only listen to the beat of my own heart,
C               G             D
 I could never hear you at all,

G                               C                D
 I could never see it when you needed some affection,
G                                 C             D
 And I could never see it when you lost your way,
              Bm                  Em   Am             D
 And I could not see you leaving me until it was too late,
C               G           D
 I could never see it at all,

      Bb        F         C         Dm
 Oh, day after day I was lost in my own world,
          Bb         F        C
 Did you call me to be here again,
      Cm          Ab             Bb        Cm
 And night after night did you dream of a lover
            Ab                      D
 Who would come here and take you away?
 
G                         C                  D           
 It is never easy to give up and just surrender,
G                              C          D
 But that is now exactly what I have to do,
          Bm              Em          Am            D
 You were always there beside me, but I hardly knew it,
C             G           D
 So heres a promise to you,

      Bb        F          C           Dm
 Oh, day after day I will be there in your world,
    Bb          F          C
 I want you to come back again,
      Cm          Ab           Bb            Cm
 And night after night I will give you my love
             Ab                 D
 And I will tenderly take you away,

G C D
G C D
            Bm             Em  Am              D
 And I will always listen to things that need saying,
            Bm           Em    Am           D
 And I will always hear you, when you want me,
         Bm                 Em     Am            D
 We had something so beautiful but I did not see it,
C              G          D                G   C
 Till all the beauty had gone, and I need you,
  D         G  C D         G
 Day after day, day after day.
