[Verse]
Am F
My heart is in another's keeping
E7 Am
All but one small part
Am F
A piece that somehow found its way to
E7 Am
Hide inside your heart
Am F
I can go a day or three
E7 Am
With not one thought of you
Am F
But then I see a crooked smile
E7 A
That draws me back into
[Chorus]
A Dm
The way you almost held my hand, dear
A
The time you kissed my cheek
Dm
The words that never left your lips, love
A
But I heard week after week
A Dm
The waltzes that we left untaken
A
The glances drove us mad
Dm
The life we didn't live together
G Am
And the love that we almost had
Am F E7 x2
[Verse]
Am F
I remember it so clearly
E7 Am
The day you first came in
Am
The bright light in your eye
F E7 Am
The brown velvet of your skin
Am F
The instant ancient understanding
E7 Am
Of what I already knew
Am F
That spark of useless fire
E7 A
The pull that led us to
[Chorus]
A Dm
The way you almost held my hand, dear
A
The time you kissed my cheek
Dm
The words that never left your lips, love
A
But I heard week after week
A Dm
The waltzes that we left untaken
A
The glances drove us mad
Dm
The life we didn't live together
G Am
And the love that we almost had
Am F E7 x8
[Chorus]
A Dm
The way you almost held my hand, dear
A
The time you kissed my cheek
Dm
The words that never left your lips, love
A
But I heard week after week
A Dm
The waltzes that we left untaken
A
The glances drove us mad
Dm
The life we didn't live together
G Am
And the love that we almost had
Am F E7 x 11
