Key: G

-4-4 -4   -4
I un-der-stand
-3  -3   3    3  -2* -2* 2   -2*
And dar-ling you are not to blame
3   3  -2* -2*   2    2  -1   2
If when we kiss it's not the same
2 -1  1*  -1
I un-der-stand
 -4  -4   -4   -4
It's not your fault
-3  -3    3     3   -2*   -2*    2   -2*
Be-cause your heart has changed its mind
 3   3  -2* -2*  2  2  -1  2
You did-n't mean to be un-kind
2 -1  1*  -3
I un-der-stand

 3  -3   -4  -5
For-get-ting you
 4   2  -1*  -4  -4 -3
Will be far from eas-y
 4     4   4   4   -4  3*    2
I've grown so used to your charms
 -1   1    2    3    -4
I'll miss that old thrill
-3  -4  4  -5   4   -4    6  
And no one can fill the place
 2   3  -4  -3
Here in my arms

-4  -4 -4   -4
But if you find
-3   -3   3   3  -2*  -2*  2 -2*
Our love was real-ly meant to be
 3    3   -2* -2* 2   2   -1 -5
Then dar-ling hur-ry back to me
 4   -4  3  -3    3...
And I'll un-der-stand
Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
