[Start]

[Verse]
Bm D G                                Am             
■  ■ ■ I feel a trembling tingle of a sleepless night
C                  D               G             
■ Creep through my fingers and the moon is bright
                                      Am           
Beams of blue come flickering through my windowpane
C          D                G                    
Like Gypsy moths that dance around a candle flame
             Am          D
And I wonder if you know ■
       G                Em
That I never understood ■ 
              Am7              
That although you said you'd go
C     Cmaj7  
Until you did
        Dsus4   G        
I never thought you would


[Inst]
Gmaj7 G Am7 D C D G

[Verse]
                            Am                   
Moonlight used to bathe the contours of your face
C              D             G                    
While chestnut hair fell all around the pillowcase
        Gmaj7             Am7                          Em
And the fragrance of your flowers rest beneath my head ■ 
C          D                               G   
A sympathy bouquet left with a love that's dead
                    Am  
And I wonder if you know


[Chorus]
D            G          D
That I never understood ■
Em                           Am
That although you said you'd go
C         D  
Until you did
                G        
I never thought you would
                                 Em7  Em  
Never thought the words you said were true


[Verse]
Am                             D        D7   
■  Never thought you said just what you meant
G                     Em       C  
■ Never knew how much I needed you
Am7 Cmaj7               D     G             
■   Never thought you'd leave until you went
Am7 D Am G
■   ■ ■  ■
                                       Am     Cmaj7
Morning comes and morning goes with no regret ■    
    C       D                   G             
The evening brings the memories I can't forget
                           Am              
Empty rooms that echo as I climb the stairs


[Chorus]
Cmaj7 C     D                  Dsus4    G              
And   empty clothes that drape and fall on empty chairs
             Am         
And I wonder if you know
D            G          D
That I never understood ■
Em                           Am
That although you said you'd go
C             D
Until you did ■
                G   Am7  
I never thought you would
D Bm C D G
