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

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

[Verse 3]
D                   D/F#             G               A
Sometimes I wake up in the morning
D             D/F#       G             A
The ginger lady by my bed
D             D/F#             G       A
Covered in a cloak of silence
D             D/F#       G       A
I hear you talking in my head
D       D/F#       G                   A
I’m not singing for the future
D             D/F#       G           A
I’m not dreaming of the past
D                   D/F#       G             A
I’m not talking of the first time
D             D/F#       G       A
I never think about the last

D             D/F#       G       A
Now this song is nearly over
D                   D/F#             G                 A
We may never find out what it means
D                   D/F#             G             A
Still there’s a light I hold before me
D                               D/F#             G
You’re the measure of my dreams
A             D/F#       G       A
The measure of my dreams
