Capo 4th fret
[Intro]
E A F#m7 B7 G#m7 C#m7 Dmaj7 A X2
[Verse]
E A F#m7 B7
How's your heart been beating? How's your skin been keeping?
G#m7 C#m7 Dmaj7 A
How's the dreaming going, since you came back home this time?
E A F#m7 B7
You left her out there somewhere, told you how you feel, but,
G#m7 C#m7 Dmaj7 A
never really got your chance, to show her what it really means.
[Chorus]
E Amaj7 D7 D* Amaj7
To love her,
E Amaj7 D7 D* Amaj7
The way you'd love her,
E Amaj7 D7 D* Amaj7
The way you'd love to love her,
E Amaj7 D7 D* Amaj7
The way you'd love her.
[Verse]
E A F#m7 B7
Closer to the ending, she's still out pretending,
G#m7 C#m7 Dmaj7 A
Prying eyes won't recognise, the way she feels about him.
E A F#m7 B7
She'll just go on living, the river keeps on rolling.
G#m7 C#m7 Dmaj7 A
Knowing all the time she'll never understand just what it means.
[Chorus]
E Amaj7 D7 D* Amaj7
To love her,
E Amaj7 D7 D* Amaj7
The way you'd love her,
E Amaj7 D7 D* Amaj7
The way you'd love to love her,
E Amaj7 D7 D* Amaj7
The way you'd love her. Haaah
Solo - E A F#m7 B7, G#m7 C#m7 Dmaj7 A X2
[Chorus]
E Amaj7 D7 D* Amaj7
To love her,
E Amaj7 D7 D* Amaj7
The way you'd love her,
E Amaj7 D7 D* Amaj7
The way you'd love to love her,
E Amaj7 D7 D* Amaj7
The way you'd love her.
End on E
The chorus 'riff' seems to go something like this when he plays it acoustic, I can't describe this very
well, sorry. Have a listen with the song to try figure out what I mean.
