Intro: F#m9   Bm9  F#m9  Bm9 
 
 
 
(F#m7) I woke up in bed last night when (Bm7) something  came 
 
 upon me.  I (F#m7) was not lying myself, but I?ve 
 
(Bm7) never felt so lonely.  (F#m7) Something?s come between us 
 
, girl, feels (Bm7) like we?ve hit a wall.(D) How can I know just 
 
 how you feel when (C#) we don?t touch at all?   
 
 
This (F#m7) no communication thing is (Bm7) quickly growing old.  
 
 This (F#m7) isolation booth I?m in is (Bm7) dark and turning cold. 
 
I (F#m7) used to steal your breath away with (Bm7) just one little kiss.   
 
(D) Me and you, we were so in love back then, (C#7) but that?s not 
 
 how it is (F#m   
 
But I?d catch moon(A)light in a bottle if we could  
 
(E) drink a toast to happiness fill up my  
 
(Bm7) pickup bed with roses and back it 
 
(D) right up to your door(C#7).  I?d write you  
 
(F#m7) name in candy kisses from  
 
(Bm7) here to Carolina if you (D) change your mind 
 
and love me like before, (C#7) but that?s not how it is.
 
  (  F#m9    Bm9   F#m9   Bm9) 2nd time ***** 
 
 
 
 
 
And (F#m7) I have tossed and turned and rolled it 
 
(Bm7) over in my mind.  Not (F#m7)knowing all the questions make the 
 
(Bm7) answers hard to find.  I  (F#m7)think I?ve covered everything, 
 
 but still there?s (Bm7)something that I?ve missed. 
 
(D) I used to read you, baby, like a book, 
 
(C#7) but that?s not how it is (F#m) 
 
 
Chorus: 
 
 
 
(2nd time thru chorus) 
 
******* 
(A)Oh,  (E) no  (Bm9)  (D)  (C#) I?d write your  
 
(F#m7)name in candy kisses from (Bm7) here to Carolina, if you  
 
(D)change your mind and love me like before,  
 
(C#7) but that?s not how it is (F#m9).   
 
Oh, (Bm9)no that?s not how it is(F#m9). 
 
(Bm9)    Say(F#m9) I woke up in bed last night when 
 
(Bm9) something came upon me (F#m9) and I?ve (Bm9) never been so 
 
lonely. (F#m9)     (Bm9)That?s not how it is.  (F#m9)  (Bm9)   
 
Repeat and fade
