Capo 1

[Intro]
D Am G D
Oooh...

[Verse 1]
Am                    Em
And you said, "Don't give me nothing
Am                        Em
you don't want to lose"
Am                                            Em
I said, "Darling, I'll give you everything I got
      Am                   Em
if I want them to choose"
Am                      Em
Then I got on a plane and flew
Am                   Em
far away from you
Am                             Em
Though unwillingly I left
                   Am                  Em
and it was so, so hard to do

F                               C                                  Em
The streets here at home had rapidly filled up
                                Am
with the whitest of snow
F                                        C
And they don't make no excuse for themselves
         Em                        Am
and there's no need, I know

[Chorus]

            F                          C
Now I miss you more than I can take
       G                    F
and I will surely break
         F                       C
And every morning that I wake
G                  F
oh, there is this ache

              Am                      Em
There's nothing more to it,
   F      G     C
I just get through it
                   Am                  Em
Oh, there's nothing more to it
   F       G     C
I just get through it

[Verse 2]
Am                         Em
It always takes me by surprise
         Am                                       Em
how dark it gets this time of the year
Am                             Em
And how apparent it all becomes
                         Am                     Em
that you're not close, not even near
Am                               Em
No matter how many times I tell myself
Am                   Em
I have to be sincere
Am                      Em
I have a hard time standing up
  Am                       Em
and facing those fears

F                         C
But Frank put it best when he said
         Em                         Am
"You can't plan on the heart"
F                                  C
Those words keep me on my feet
            Em                               Am
when I think I might just fall apart

[Ulangi Chorus]

[Breakdown]

D            C                         G
And so I ask where are you now
                               D
just when I needed you
D                    C
I won't ask again
                 G                                            D
Because I know there's nothing we can do
        C         G                               D
Not now, darling, you know it's true

D Am G D

Oooh...
