Lately    (video)    (intro)    (midi)

 

    C - Am - F - G

 

     C                                               Am     

1. Lately I have had the strangest feeling,

      F                                           G

    with no vivid reasons here to find,

   Dm                                                                   - G                    C    

    yet the thought of losing you's been hanging        round my mind.

      C                                                     Am       

    Far more frequently you're wearing perfume,

      F                                                     G  

    when you say, "No special place to go.",

             Dm                                                              - G

    but when I ask, "Will you be coming back soon?",

                       C                 C7

    you don't know, never know.

 

          F                                         Fm

Well, I'm a man of many wishes, hope my premonition misses,

    C                             A                         A7

what I really feel, my eyes won't let me hide.

                   Dm Em Fm  G   C    -  A7             

cause they always start to cry,

                  Dm   Em     Fm      G    C   - Am - F - G

cause this time could mean goodbye.

  

     C                                             Am                  

2. Lately I've been staring in the mirror,

      F                                    G     

    very slowly picking me apart,

   Dm                                                      - G                    C       

    trying to tell myself I have no reason        with your heart.

      C                                                      Am      

    Just the other night while you were sleeping,

        F                                                            G

    I vaguely heard you whisper someone's name,

             Dm                                                                   - G

    but when I ask you of the thoughts you're keeping,

                   C                        C7 

    you just say, "Nothing’s changed".

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

          F                                           Fm

Well, I'm a man of many wishes, I hope my premonition misses,

    C                             A                         A7

what I really feel, my eyes won't let me hide.

                   Dm Em Fm  G   C    -  A7             

cause they always start to cry,

                  Dm   Em     Fm      G    C   - Am - F - G

cause this time could mean goodbye.

 

+ repeat CHORUS (in a different key)   + C
