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( 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 (F#m9) (Bm9)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.
