In your lonely lonely bed
Eb                                       Ebmaj7

Where I laid my head

        Cm7
To kiss me

To kiss and kiss and kiss and kiss and kiss me
                      Bb7
And if you can forget ■  
C              Eb    
The good times we had
                   Cm7      
If you think don't ■   think

They out weigh the bad ■
