INTRO: |F9 F |F9 Dm |Bb F |Dm Bb C
VERSE 1:
n.c. |F9 F |F9 Dm |
I've had many times, I can tell you,
Bb F
times when innocence,
|Dm Bb C
I'd trade for compan - y.
|F9 F |F9 Dm |
And child-ren saw me cry-ing,
Bb F |C C7
I thought I'd had my share of that.
|Bb |
But these miss you nights,
Csus4 C7 |F |C
are the longest.
VERSE 2:
|F9 F |F9 Dm |
Midnight dia-monds, stud my hea-ven,
Bb F
southward burning,
|Dm Bb C
lie the jewels that eye your pla - ce.
|F9 F |F9 Dm |
And warm winds, that em-brace me,
Bb F |C C7
just as surely kissed your face.
|Bb |
Yeah these miss you nights,
Csus4 C7 |F |C
they're the longest.
CHORUS 1:
|F
(How I missed you),
Dm |Bb
how I missed you, I'm not likely to tell.
|F Dm
I'm a man, and cold daylight,
|Bb C
buys the pride I'd rather sell.
|F
(All my secrets),
Dm |Bb Dm |
all my secrets, are a wasted af-fair,
Bb F |Bb F |
you know them well.
VERSE 3:
F9 F |F9 Dm |
Think-ing of my go-ing,
Bb F
how to cut the thread,
|Dm Gm C
and leave it all behi-nd.
|F9 F |F9 Dm |
Looking wind-ward, for my compass,
Bb F |C C7
I take each day as it ar-rives.
|Bb |
But these miss you nights,
C Csus4 C7 |F |F7 |
are the longest.
CHORUS 2:
Bb C |
(Lay down), lay down all thoughts,
Am Dm |
of your sur-render,
Gm |C |
it's only me who's killing time.
Bb C
(Lay down), lay down all dreams,
|Am Dm |
and themes once re-membered.
Bb |C |
it's just the same, this miss you game.
