[Verse 1]E
Floorboards creaking
G#
in my home
G#7Amaj7
Deathly silence when alone
Adim7
Oh, I wish that you were
E
here right now
EG#
So unlike me, somehow I
G#7
Fell in love in
Amaj7
just three nights
Adim7
Those Novembe Er days
still haunting me

[Chorus]E
When the gold rays
fell on your skin
G#G#7
And my hair got caught
in the wind
Amaj7Adim7
The choir sang a melancholic
E
hymn
E
In the morning,
you will be gone
G#G#7
I'll be mourning, tryin'
to hold on to
Bbm7b5Am6
The memory of your lips
G#m7C#9sus4C#7b9
God, I'm so love - sick
F#m7B9sus4B7b9E
What have you done to me?

[Verse 2]EG#
Left me in your atmosphere
G#7Amaj7
Inching closer, but I fear
Adim7
That I'll love so much
E
you'll slip away
EG#
Getting twisted in my head
G#7
Dreams are nightmares
Amaj7
in my bed
Adim7
Since the last night
E
that I spent with you
[Chorus]E
When the gold rays fell
on your skin
G#G#7
And my hair got caught
in the wind
Amaj7
The choir sang
Adim7E
a melancholy hymn
E
In the morning,
you're not in my bed
G#G#7
I'll just sleep until
I fall dead
Bbm7b5Am6
The memory of your lips
G#m7C#9sus4C#7b9
God, I'm so love - sick
F#m7B9sus4B7b9E
What have you done to me?
