(Intro)
D Dm G D
(I had you right on the tips of my fingers)
G D
(ooooo-ooooo-oooooo-ooooo)
(Verse 1)
D A D
I reached out my arms and I touched you,
A D
with soft words I whispered your name.
D Dm D G D
I had you right on the tips of my fingers,
E A
but that was as close as I came.
(Verse 2)
D A D
My eyes had a vision of sweet lips, yielding
A D
beneath my command.
D Dm D G D
I had your love on the tips of my fingers,
A D
but I let it slip right through my hands.
G D
But I let it slip right through my hands.
(Bridge)
A G D
Somebody took you when I wasn't looking.
A
And I should have known from the start.
D G
That it's a long, long way from the tips of my
D G D
fingers to the love hidden deep in your heart.
G D
To the love hidden deep in your heart.
(Outro)
D Dm D G D
I had you right on the tips of my fingers,
A D
but I let you slip right through my hands.
G D
Yes, I let you slip right through my hands.
