Intro: G - D - Em - C - G/B - Am - C - G 
 
G                 D          Em 
Seems like such a long time ago 
C     G/B        Am  C  G 
I was walking on lonely road 
G                D         Em 
Getting tired of dreamin' alone 
C            G/B           Am C   G 
Like all the lonely people I  had known 
 
Seems like such a long time ago 
There was no-one who would share my song 
I was just a boy far from home 
And I became a man when you came along 
 
C  C/B       Am    Am/G     Em 
We spent the whole night talking 
    D          C       G       D   G 
You said you'd like to see the sun rise 
C   C/B    Am   Am/G  Em 
But in the gold of morning 
                  D      C       G       D    G 
There was nothing that I had not seen in your eyes 
Em   D 
Hmmm 
 
C          G/B 
I was so afraid to touch you 
A                    G 
Thought you were too young to know 
C                     C/B        Am Em D 
So I just watched you sleeping 
C                 G/B 
Then you woke and said to me 
    Am               G 
The night is cold it frightens me 
C                C/B          Am Em D 
I could sleep so easy next to you 
 
Wasn't very long ago 
You said that you would like to share my road 
Then you started singing my song 
 
You said so many nights are waiting 
Let's not spent a moment waisting time 
'Cause we have very far to go 
I will go if you will take me 
I have never had a lover 
I am young but I am so alone 
 
We spent the whole night talking 
(...) 
But in the gold of morning 
(...) 
Em D   D7  G 
Hmmm,  mmm mmm
