[Verse]
G                 D          Em
Seems like such a long time ago
C       G/B          D   C  G
  I was walking on a lonely road
G                D         Em
Getting tired of dreamin' alone
C              G/B           D C   G
  Like all the lonely people I had known
 
G                 D          Em
Seems like such a long time ago
C           G/B              D     C  G
  There was no one who would share my song
G            D            Em
I was just a boy far from home
C         G/B             D   C     G
  And I became a man when you came along
 
 
[Chorus]
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-hmmm
 
 
[Bridge]
C          G/B
I was so afraid to touch you
Am                    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
 
 
[Verse]
G           D     Em
Wasn't very long ago
C               G/B               D     C  G
  You said that you would like to share my road
G                D          Em
Then you started singing my song
 
 
[Bridge]
    C                G/B
You said so many nights are waiting
Am                   G              C
Let's not spend the moments wasting time
               C/B         Am Em D
'Cause we have very far to go
C            G/B
I will go if you will take me
Am           G
I have never had a lover
C              C/B      Am Em D
I am young but I am so alone
 
 
[Chorus]
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
Em D   D7  G
Hmmm,  mmm mmm

Sounds nice. Thanks for posting it. It would be great if you could have added the tabs for the chorus as well. There's a lot going on there.
