Touch me in the morning (1973) (video) (midi)

F C - F C

Touch me in the morning, then just walk a-way,

F C - F Bb - G

we don't have tomorrow, but we had yesterda......y.

C Em F G

1. Hey, wasn't it me who said that nothing good's gonna last forever ?

C Em F G

And wasn't it me who said, let's just be glad for the time together ?

G

It must've been hard to tell me

Bb

that you've given all you had to give.

G Bb

I can understand you're feeling that way,

everybody's got their life to live.

F G Em Am

Well, I can say goodbye in the cold morning light,

F G Em Am

but I can't watch love die in the warmth of the night.

F E Am

If I've got to be strong, don't you know I need to

F E Am

have tonight when you're gone ? Till you're gone, I need to

F - Em - F

lie here, and think about the last time that you'll

G C Em - F

touch me in the morning,

G C - Em - F

then just close the door.

G C Em - F

Leave me as you found me,

Dm Bb - G

empty like befo......re.

C Em F G

2. Hey, wasn't it yesterday, we used to laugh at the wind behind us ?

C Em F G

Didn't we run away, and hope that time wouldn't try to find us ?

G

Didn't we take each other

Bb

to a place where no one's ever been ?

G Bb

Yeah, I really need you near me tonight,

'cause you'll never take me there again.

F G Em Am

Let me watch you go with the sun in my eyes.

F G Em Am

We've seen how love can grow, now we'll see how it dies.

F E Am

If I've got to be strong, don't you know I need to

F E Am

have tonight when you're gone ? Till you're gone, I need to

F - Em F

hold you, until the time your hands reach out, and

G - C Em

touch me in the morning,

F G

and we could feel one another living.

C Em

We walked with a dream to hold,

F G

and we could take what the world was giving !

C Em

There's no tomorrow here,

F G

there's only love and the time to chase it.

Bb

Yesterday's gone, my love,

G

there's only now and it's time to face it ....
