1. Funny thing about this little heart of mine,

 

    all the way that it can say :

      G

    Longer than forever, till the end of time,

 

    no matter, baby, come what may.

      C

    Look at me now, sitting all by myself,

                                                         G

    face another sleepless night all alone,

     D                                                                 G

    all I look forward to is lying here living this song.

 

                          D                             G

I can't escape thinking every day about you,

                        D                                          G

can't escape wishing, dear, you were still mine.

                         D                            G

Can't escape thinking maybe I still love you,

                       D                                  G

can't escape caring for you all of the time.

2. Listen to the music on the radio, top forty hits of yesterday.

       G

    Leaving on a Jet Plane, Blowin' in the Wind,

            

    The Silly Games That People Play.

      C

    Each of them carries your memory still,

                                                       G

    I can still see that look in your eyes,

            D                                                                          G

    the one that preceded your kisses and followed your sighs.

 

+  CHORUS

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  Am                                               D                 G

+     Every rain in the morning reminds me of you,

Am                                  C               - F                             D            - G

    every night when it's cold outside,     every time that I ache insi.....de.

       C

+  Sometimes I wish it was ten years ago,

                                                G

    we were starting all over again.

                   D                                                                                 G

    Yet the way that I feel is much more than just remembering when.

 

                          D                             G

I can't escape thinking every day about you,

                        D                                          G

can't escape wishing, dear, you were still mine.

                         D                            G

Can't escape thinking maybe I still love you,

                       D                                  G

can't escape caring for you all of the time.

 

     D            G       D            G

+  All of the time. All of the time.
