1.      At separate tables we sit down to eat,

C                                           D7

    in separate bedrooms we go to sleep at night,

F                                C                    Dm                            E

    I only wish, you knew how much you’ve been on my mind.

 

   Am                                               E

2.      I think about you when the morning comes,

C                                       D7

    I think about you when all my day is done,

F                                           C             - Dm                           E

    wondering what you are doing now,          are you lonely, too?

 

           C                               D7                                                 F

‘Cause I, I miss you here tonight, and I wish you were by my side,

                                     C - G     - F - G 

and I don’t want to let g........o.

 

     Am                                           E

3.        At separate tables we sit down to write,

C                                          D7

    the separate letters that never see the light,

F                            C                  Dm                       E

    if only we could just agree to read between the lines.

 

    Am                                                                   E

4.        I want to see you and I know what I will say,

C                                       D7

    we must be crazy to throw it all away,

F                               C                Dm                  E

    never knowing what is lost, before it’s all too late.

 

       C                              D7                                                  F

And I, I miss you here tonight, and I wish you were by my side,

                                     C - G 

and I don’t want to let g........o.
