[Intro]
C   F G C    F G

[Verse 1]
C                      F        G
I've been loving you a long time
C                     
Down all the years and 
     F       G
all the days
C                     
And I've cried for all 
      F       G
your troubles
C                   
Smiled at your funny
        F   G
 little ways
C                          
We watched our friends grow 
      F     G
up together
C                       F   G
And we saw them as they fell
C                      F     G
Some of them fell into Heaven
C                      F   G
Some of them fell into Hell

[Verse 2]
C                        F  G
I took shelter from a shower
C                       F   G
And I stepped into your arms
C                   F   G
On a rainy night in Soho
C                     
The wind was whistling
         F     G
 all its charms
C                     F      G
And I sang you all my sorrows
C                       F   G
You told me all of your joys
C                    
Whatever happened to
     F        G
 that old song?
C                  
To all those little
       F       G
 girls and boys

[Verse 3]
C                            Fmaj7  G
Sometimes I'd wake up in the morning
C                     Fmaj7 G
The ginger lady by my bed
C                       Fmaj7 G
Covered in a cloak of silence
C                          Fmaj7 G
I'd hear you talking in my head
C                              Fmaj7 G
Now, I'm not singing for the future
C                       Fmaj7   G
And I'm not dreaming of the past
C                      Fmaj7      G
I'm not talking of the first times
C                       Fmaj7 G
I never think about the last

[Verse 4]
C                          Fmaj7 G
And now the song is nearly over
C                    
We may never find out
         Fmaj7 G
 what it means
C                     
Still, there's a light
               Fmaj7 G
 I hold before me
C                        Fmaj7
You're the measure of my dreams
    G          C
The measure of my dreams

[Outro]
Fmaj7 G C   Fmaj7 G C
