Introdução: D6 E7 Em7 A9 D6 E7 Em7 A9 
 
D6  E7          Em7   A9 
It's not for me to say  
A7/9-  D7M D6  D7M D6 
You  love me 
D6   E7         Em7  A9 
It's not for me to say  
   A9      D    B7 
You'll always care 
D7/9-    Em         Em7 
Oh, but here, for the moment 
Em6    F#7     Bm 
I  can hold you fast 
 F#7    Bm7   F#    Gdim   G#m7 
And press your lips to  mine 
  C#7      F#      Em7     A7 
And dream that love will last 
   Em           Em7    A9 
As far as I can see,  
A7/9-    D7M  D6  Am7           D7 
This is Heaven  and speaking just for me 
   D7/13-       G  G7M G6 G 
It's ours to share 
  G6     G7M     Gm       Gm5-/7  
Perhaps the glow of love will grow 
   D        F#m5-/7  B7 
With every passing day 
      E7      E7M 
Or we may never meet again 
  A9               A7M    D6   D7M D6 Em7 A7 
But then, it's not for me to say 
Interlude: D6 E7 Em7 A9 A7/9- D7M D6  D7M D6 Am7 D7 Am7 D7 
  G6     G7M     Gm       Gm5-/7  
Perhaps the glow of love will grow 
   D        F#m5-/7  B7 
With every passing day 
      E7      E7M 
Or we may never meet again 
  A9       A7/9     A7M      D6  D7M D6 D7M 
But then, it's not for me to say
