[Verse]
G                D             Em
Seems like such a long time ago
C          G/B           D       C        G
I was walking on a lonely road
G                D          Em
Getting tired of dreamin' alone
C            G/B          D            C          G
Like all the lonely people I had known

G            D         Em
Seems like such a long time ago
C              G/B          D             C        G
There was no one who would share my song
G               D         Em
I was just a boy far from home
C           G/B         D               C             G
And I became a man when you came along

[Chorus]       
C          C/B        Am         Am/G Em
We spent the whole night talking
D       C         G          D         G
You said you'd like to see the sun rise
C       C/B       Am       Am/G       Em
But in the gold of morning
D         C         G         D       G
There was nothing that I had not seen in your eyes
Em               D
Hmmm-hmmm

[Bridge]
C                    G/B
I was so afraid to touch you
Am                  G
Thought you were too young to know
C            C/B         Am    Em             D
So I just watched you sleeping
C                         G/B
Then you woke and said to me
Am                       G
The night is cold, it frightens me
C           C/B          Am          Em             D
I could sleep so easy next to you

[Verse]
G            D                 Em
Wasn't very long ago
C          G/B              D           C               G
You said that you would like to share my road
G             D               Em
Then you started singing my song

[Bridge]
C                    G/B
You said so many nights are waiting
Am              G             C
Let's not spend the moments wasting time
C/B         Am          Em             D
'Cause we have very far to go
C                       G/B
I will go if you will take me
Am        G
I have never had a lover
C        C/B      Am        Em          D
I am young but I am so alone

[Chorus]
C        C/B      Am       Am/G         Em
We spent the whole night talking
D          C          G        D                 G
You said you'd like to see the sun rise
C    C/B          Am       Am/G           Em
But in the gold of morning
D        C          G          D      G
There was nothing that I had not seen in your eyes
Em             D
Hmmm
Em        D         D7         G
Hmmm, mmm mmm
