([Am7]　[Dm7]　　)×３

 

I've been [Am7]holding out so long,

I've been sleeping all alone, Lord, I [Dm7]miss you

I've been [Am7]hanging on the phone,

I've been sleeping all alone, I want to [Dm7]kiss you

[Am7]　[Dm7]　[Am7]　[Dm7]

 

I've been [Am7]haunted in my sleep,

[Am7]You've been the star in all my dreams,

Lord, I [Dm7]miss you, child

 

I've been [Am7]waiting in the hall,

Been waiting on your call when the phone [Dm7]rings,

[Dm7]It's just some friends of mine that say:

"Hey, [Am7]what's the matter, man? We're gonna come around

at 12:00 with some Puerto Rican [Dm7]girls that are just dying to meet

you. We're gonna [Am7]bring a case of wine—Hey, let's go mess and fool

around, you know [Dm7]like we used to!"

[Am7]　[Dm7]　[Am7]　[Dm7]

 

[F]Ooooh, [Em7]everybody waits so [Dm7]long

[F]Ooooh, [Em7]baby why you wait so [Dm7]long

Won't you [E7]come on, come home!

[Am7]　[Dm7]

 

I've been [Am7]walking Central Park, singing after dark

People think [Dm7]I'm crazy

[Am7]Sometimes I want to say to [Dm7]myself, sometimes I say ....

[Am7]Stumbling on my feet, shuffling through the street

[Dm7]Asking people,

[Dm7]"What's the matter with you, boy?"

[Am7]Sometimes I want to say to [Dm7]myself, sometimes I say ....

[Am7]Hooooo hooooo [Dm7]Hooooo hooooo

[Am7]Hooooo hooooo [Dm7]Hooooo hooooo

[Am7]　[Dm7]　[Am7]　[Dm7]

 

I guess I'm [Am7]lying to myself it's you and no one else

Lord, I [Dm7]won't miss you, child

You've just been [Am7]blotting out my mind-fooling on my time

No, I [Dm7]won't miss you, baby

[Am7]Lord, I miss your child ....[Dm7]
