[Verse 1]
G                                              A                   Am
I feel the trembling tingle of a sleepless night
C                            D                        G
Creep through my fingers and the moon is bright
G                                                              A                   Am
Beams of blue come flickering through my window pane
C                                   D                     G
Like gypsy moths that dance around a candle flame

[Chorus]
         G          A          Am
And I wonder if you know
       C           D      G
That I never understood
          Em               Am
That although you said you'd go
C                     D                            G     Am A
Until you did I never thought you would

[Verse 2]
G                                                      A                    Am
Moonlight used to bathe the contours of your face
C                                  D                      G
While chestnut hair fell all around the pillow case
G                                                           Am               A    Am
And the fragrance of your flowers rest beneath my head
     C                   D                          G
A sympathy bouquet left with the love that's dead

[Chorus]
G                            A       Am
And I wonder if you know
C         D                  G
That I never understood
          Em                               Am
That although you said you'd go
C                      D                          G
Until you did I never thought you would

[Bridge]
A                           Em                            G    Am
Never thought the words you said were true
D        G                 D            C             Am    C
Never thought you said just what you meant
D                                    G               Am
Never knew how much I needed you
           D                    C           D          Am D
Never thought you'd leave, until you went

[Verse 3]
G                                                            A     Am
Morning comes and morning goes with no regret
C                                     D                G
And evening brings the memories I can't forget
G                                           Am           A
Empty rooms that echo as I climb the stairs
C                                    D                          G
And empty clothes that drape and fall on empty chairs

[Chorus]
G                           A         Am
And I wonder if you know
C        D                  G
That I never understood
           Em                             Am
That although you said you'd go
C                      D        G
Until you did I never thought you would

[Outro]
