[Verse]
              D                   B
I call your name but you're not there.
           E                A
Was I to blame for being unfair?
                         D
Don't you know I can't sleep at night
                   B
Since you're been gone.
          E       G             D
I never weep at night; I can't go on.
 
[Chorus]
                         G
Don't you know I can't take it;
                  Bm
I don't know who can.
                E7
I'm not gonna make it;
                     Em7       A
I'm not that kind of maaaaaaaaan.
 
[Verse]
                         D
Don't you know I can't sleep at night.
               B
But just the same,
          E         G                D
I never weep at night; I call your name.
 
[Chorus]
                         G
Don't you know I can't take it;
                 Bm
I don't know who can.
                E7
I'm not gonna make it;
                     Em7      A
I'm not that kind of maaaaaaaaan.
 
[Outro]
                         D
Don't you know I can't sleep at night.
               B
But just the same,
         E       G              D          B7
I never weep at night; I call your name.
         E         G                F      D
I never weep at night; I call your name. Yeah

These chords are perfect… until that F at the end. Add one more note (D) to that, and you have the actual chord: Dm7. In the recording, you’ll hear a D in the four-part harmony sung on “name,” resolving to the D-major harmony on “yeah.” F is adequate, but a major chord there lacks the drama of the minor 7th.

How about playing most of the chords in sevenths?

Pretty good
