Introdução: G6 Am7 Bm7 Bbm7 Am7 Fdim 
 
Am7 Am7/G Cdim  D7          D5+ 
My  heart  is sad and lonely 
G6      Am7       Bm7  Bbm7    Am7 Fdim 
For you I sigh, for you dear only 
Am     Am7/G         B7 
Why haven't you seen it 
Em7         D7/9 D5+      G6 
I'm all for you  body and soul 
Am7  Am7/G    Cdim     D7  D5+ 
I  spend my days in longing 
G6      Am7      Bm7   Bbm7   Am7   Fdim 
And wond'ring why it's me you're wronging 
Am Am7/G         B7 
I  tell you I mean it 
Em7         D7/9 D5+     G    F#7 
I'm all for you body and soul 
Bridge 
G           Em7              G9         D7 
I can't believe it, it's hard to conceive it 
   G       Am   D7/9    G 
That you turn away romance 
Am7         Cdim    
Are you pretending 
     G9             F#7 
It looks like the ending 
  Am7       C    D7       G    F#7      F7    E7          
Unless I could have one more chance to prove, dear 
Am7  Am7/G   Cdim   D7      D5+ 
My  life a wreck you're making 
G6      Am7       Bm7   Bbm7   Am7 Fdim 
You know I'm yours for just the  taking 
Am  Am7/G        B7 
I'd gladly surrender  
 Em7        D7/9 D5+    G     
Myself to you body and soul
