[Verse 1]
G                C   D             G  G/F#  Em
I know you loved him, a long time ago
               Am   D                     G    C    G
Even now in my arms, you still want him I know
                  C   D                   G   G/F#   Em
But Darlin' this time, let your memories die
                   Am     D                 C   G
When you hold me tonight, don't close your eyes
 
[Chorus]
G                 C               D
Don't close your eyes, let it be me
                   G      G/F#     Em
Don't pretend it's him in some fantasy
             Am                  D
Darlin' just once let yesterday go
                      G         G/F#        Em
And you'll find more love than you've ever know
              Am                          D
Just hold me tight, when you love me tonight
                       C G6add11/B Am7 G
And don't close your eyes

[Verse 2]
G                  C   D                    G  G/F#  Em
Maybe I've been a fool, holdin' on all this time
                    Am  D                       G
Lyin' here in your arms, knowin' he's in your mind
                       C   D                    G   G/F#   Em
But I keep hoping some day, that you'll see the light
               C       D                 C    G
Let it be here tonight, don't close your eyes
 
[Chorus]
G                 C               D
Don't close your eyes, let it be me

Don't pretend it's him in some fantasy
             Am                  D
Darlin' just once let yesterday go
                      G         G/F#        Em
And you'll find more love than you've ever know
              Am                          D
Just hold me tight, when you love me tonight
                       C G6add11/B Am7 G
And don't close your eyes
             Am                          D
Just hold me tight, when you love me tonight
                     C G6add11/B Am7 G
And don't close your eyes

Part of the 2nd verse is incorrect. After "Knowing he's in your mind" It should say, "But I keep hoping some day, that you'll see the light, let it be me tonight. Don't close your eyes."

Lack of formatting. The chord changes aren't in the right places so you have to wing it to make it work. It would be better if this stupid app didn't make you use at least twenty words as well. There. Happy?
